As revealed by The Telegraph, Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe is looking to bring in up to four new signings this summer – suggesting quality over quantity could be our approach.
A move for Lille’s Sven Botman looks likely to be revisited, while the same report states that Reims star Hugo Ekitike will assess his options at the end of the season after he almost completed a £16m move to Tyneside on deadline day in January.
Interestingly, Luke Edwards writes that our new owners are NOT expecting a push for the top six next season – providing we stay up – and will instead hope to see Eddie Howe secure a top 10 finish that sees us stay well of any relegation battle.
So, with this and claims of a £60m budget (plus player sales) in mind, it seems this summer and the coming year could see us focus on establishing ourselves as a competent Premier League club and begin our steady climb to success.
The Telegraph also report that the club are keen to boost the current budget by securing new sponsorship deals in time for this summer’s transfer window.
