Eddie Howe's ability to improve players should be a key factor in this summer's transfer window, according to former Newcastle United goalkeeper Shaka Hislop.
The Magpies have again been linked with a host of big-name signings already this summer, but ex-United shot-stopper Hislop says anyone with any doubts over a move to Tyneside should look at what Howe has done with his current squad. The likes of Miguel Almiron, Fabian Schar, Joelinton and many more have improved significantly in the past 18 months, playing a key role as the club qualified for the Champions League.
Hislop has urged Chelsea's Christian Pulisic to join the Magpies this summer, with his future at Stamford Bridge unclear. Whether Newcastle follow up any reported interest remains doubtful, but Hislop's broader point about the Eddie Howe factor applies to any target this summer.
