Former Newcastle United midfielder Didi Hamann believes the Magpies have enough in the squad to finish in the top eight in the Premier League. The former Toon midfielder, who spent one year on Tyneside, has been impressed by Newcastle's summer transfer business.
He told Genting Casino : "Nick Pope is a very good signing, but if I was Eddie Howe I wouldn't have looked at strengthening the goalkeeping department. Matt Targett is a good signing and there's probably two or three more coming.
"There's a lot of names floating around and we shouldn't forget that they finished in the top five or six in the second half of the season last year. I think Newcastle will finish in the top eight. Whether they can finish higher than that all depends on who else they bring in during the next few weeks."
