Eddie Howe has warned Newcastle need transfer reinforcements if they are to compete on three fronts.
While £56million striker Alexander Isak is pushing to make his comeback in the FA Cup against Sheffield Wednesday, Howe says his squad could do with reinforcements due to injuries to Jonjo Shelvey and Matt Targett. Howe is in the market to do “injury-related” business with a midfielder the priority and Youri Tielemans, whose contract is running down at Leicester, a target.
Asked if the squad was strong enough to challenge at the top of the league and in two cups, Howe said: “Without any injuries, yes. With injuries, probably not. So we have two injuries at the moment, to Jonjo and Matt Targett, which are a huge blow for us.
