Newcastle United began their summer transfer window in smart fashion with the additions of a new goalkeeper and two defenders to finalise their backline, but bringing in players further up the pitch has proved much more of a challenge.
The club have insisted that they would not have an unlimited budget to spend this summer and that fans would have to be patient, although Eddie Howe has now confirmed that the Magpies have been “looking at a couple of attacking players”.
James Maddison and Timo Werner have been linked with moves to the north east of late, but the Newcastle boss has explained that having a “small pool of targets” has made things “difficult” for bringing in new signings.
