Dan Ashworth says Newcastle United will not get ahead of themselves in January to secure a Champions League place. However, the sporting director has not ruled out additions to the squad if they represent a good deal for the football club.
The Magpies have made a blistering start to the campaign and are in contention for European football, sitting third in the Premier League. Many outsiders had tipped the Toon to spend big again in January, but that won't be the case.
When asked about investing big in January because of the club's current position, Ashworth told Sky Sports: "It's a really good question and one we've talked about, there are a couple of factors in there. We've got a 25-man squad now, so we'd need to trade and the second thing is, every club is bound by Financial Fair Play.
