Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe insists he has enough options in attack should the club fail to sign a replacement for Chris Wood. The New Zealand international is set to depart Newcastle for Nottingham Forest after only 12 months on Tyneside.
Wood's exit means the Magpies are looking short of central striking options, with Howe now keen to press on and find a replacement in the remaining 11 days of the transfer window. However, the former Bournemouth boss believes should a suitable candidates prove unattainable, he can rely on Joelinton or Allan Saint-Maximin to play backup to Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak.
"We do have players in the squad that can play there," Howe told reporters on Friday. "Joelinton is one and Maxi is another. I think there are a couple of other players in the squad that could do it.
