Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe does not expect a major squad overhaul at St James' Park this summer - but admits that "smart decisions" must be made in the transfer window.
Howe's side look destined for Europe, and can close in on the Champions League places in the next few days with big games against Everton then Southampton to come. The prospect of dining at Europe's top table has led some pundits, including club legend Chris Waddle, to suggest improvements would have to be made if they finish in the top three or four.
As reported by Chronicle Live this week, Howe wants to retain the identity of his squad next season. Indeed Howe underlined how important number 9 Callum Wilson is in the build-up to the trip to Everton.
