Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe has issued a transfer update after facing the Press for the first time on the club's pre-season schedule. The Magpies boss made it clear he is not satisfied with just three signings so far and knows the group needs extra presence to cope with the demands of the new season.
Speaking after the 3-0 win over 1860 Munich, Howe said: "We have definitely improved the group. But I do feel we have more work to do."
When asked if anything was imminent with a report suggesting Thorgan Hazard was a target, Howe said: "There is nothing to report, and we are still in the process of working very hard behind the scenes to try and improve the squad. That work is continuing every day, even from here. We are keen to add strength to certain areas of the team. It remains to be seen whether we can get a deal done."
