Eddie Howe has unenviable £160m decision to make at Newcastle United for first time this season

Newcastle United's trip to Bournemouth this weekend will give Eddie Howe the opportunity to choose from a £160m quintet of attacking talent for the first time this season. Callum Wilson, Miguel Almiron, Allan Saint-Maximin, Alexander Isak and new addition Anthony Gordon are all expected to be available for the trip to the south coast, with opinion split on which trio should get the nod at the Vitality Stadium and beyond.

Howe has been reluctant to tinker with his settled side in recent weeks following a lengthy unbeaten run in the Premier League. However, heading into the business end of the season, the Magpies boss has a positive headache regarding his attacking options.

For starters, there is Wilson. Newcastle's No 9 and go-to man in recent seasons. After an unusual dip in form since returning from the Qatar World Cup, the Magpies striker was back among the goals with a well-taken finish in the 1-1 draw with West Ham.
