Eddie Howe wants Newcastle United to have 'a minimum' of two top quality players in each position as they prepare for the 2022/23 Premier League campaign. The Magpies boss has already welcomed three new arrivals since the transfer window opened last month but more deals look to be on the way in the coming weeks.
Howe is keen to bolster his Newcastle squad due to the demands the new Premier League season promises to deliver in the coming months. The 2022 Qatar World Cup will put pressure on top flight clubs who still have 38 matches to play by the end of May 2023.
The Newcastle boss has stressed the importance of squad depth as he praised the added first-team competition that his recent additions will provide. "You need a minimum of two players in each position," Howe told NUFC TV.
