Newcastle United sporting director Dan Ashworth says the Magpies cannot keep solely buying players for Eddie Howe's first-team as attention turns to the future on Tyneside. The Magpies forked out over £200m on new additions in 2022 with the club now reaping the rewards in both league and cup.
The arrival of key figures such as Kieran Trippier, Bruno Guimaraes and Sven Botman have seen Howe's side upset the apple cart at the very time of asking. However, Newcastle are now looking to save funds for future windows despite an outside clamour for additions before the end of the month.
Ashworth hints senior signings may be few and far between in the near future, saying these types of additions are 'unsustainable' for the football club. Newcastle will instead try and attract the best young talent to Tyneside in the hope they will be knocking on Howe's door for a shot in the first-team in years to come.
