The 2023 summer transfer window opens on Wednesday as Premier League clubs begin to battle for football's biggest and brightest talents. Newcastle United promise to be busy once more as Eddie Howe attempts to bolster his St James' Park dressing room as the north east outfit enter an exciting new era.
"I’m not in my mind thinking 'we have to have one of those players that ticks that box for the supporters'. As much as I’d love to do that, it’s about finding the right player in the right position who I think makes us better," Howe replied when quizzed over marquee signings last month.
Newcastle continue to be hyperaware of Financial Fair Play regulations as Howe tries to balance the books and seek out smart deals when it comes to incomings. The Toon boss wants to keep the bulk of his squad together but will also need departures to free up first-team spaces, meaning some veterans will pay emotional goodbyes to St James' Park.
