Eddie Howe has spoken about his "ideal" when it comes to business in transfer windows after landing Anthony Gordon from Everton for £45million.
The 21-year-old Scouser will be in the stands on one of the biggest nights in Newcastle's history as they face Southampton in the League Cup semi-finals at St James' Park due to being cup-toed. But he is set to make his debut later in the week against West Ham in the Premier League.
Howe underlined the importance of keeping his squad fresh and maintaining vital competition for places. The forward will instantly change the thinking for Howe and his coaching team in their frontline.
