Eddie Howe remains confident that Newcastle United will make a transfer breakthrough in time for the Premier League's big kick off.
Despite being dealt transfer blows on Hugo Ekitike, who opted for Paris St-Germain, and Moussa Diaby, who says he is staying at Bayer Leverkusen, Howe and sporting director Dan Ashworth have other targets in mind. One of them is Leeds United's Jack Harrison but negotiations remain ongoing over a price for the £35million rated winger.
Howe likes the Stoke-born Elland Road star but Newcastle have not come close to Leeds' valuation of the star. Harrison has two years left on his current deal with the Yorkshire club which puts them in a strong position on an asking price.
