As their Premier League rivals attempt to adhere to stringent spending regulations, Eddie Howe has urged Newcastle to be relentless in the summer transfer window.
In order to comply with profitability and sustainability restrictions (PSR), the Magpies found themselves reluctant to sell Elliot Anderson to Nottingham Forest and Yankuba Minteh to Brighton a year ago.
Since they haven’t signed a significant deal in three transfer windows, they are significantly more advantageous this time around as they approach the June 30 deadline.
Howe wants the club to be prepared to pounce in light of claims that clubs like Aston Villa, Bournemouth, and Forest may need to sell players in order to comply.
“The PSR deadline is significant for clubs, both those with and without PSR issues, because those without may try to sign players.”
They will, to our credit, take advantage of other clubs, just as they did last year.
It’s a really intriguing dynamic that we’re aware of, and we’ll make every effort to make the most of.
“I won’t go into the details of that, but there are people at the club who are working very hard on it in the background.”
Despite having a difficult start to their season, Newcastle are third in the table and confident that they will still be able to win the Champions League.
After playing Arsenal and Everton, they travel to top-five rivals Chelsea.
Newcastle’s League Cup success guarantees a Conference League spot next season, regardless of what happens in the upcoming campaign.
However, being eligible for the biggest club competition in Europe would help attract summer targets and keep their biggest names in Tyneside.
Throughout the campaign, Howe has addressed rumors about Anthony Gordon, Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, and Alexander Isak, but he has said he wants to strengthen rather than weaken his squad.
I can’t sit here and say what will happen because I don’t have a crystal ball. You can’t consistently lose your best players, so I can only express my determination. My goal is to create the best team possible.
After visiting a knee specialist, Howe confirmed that midfielder Joelinton is unlikely to play again this year.
