Newcastle United's first full season under their new Saudi-led regime, with Eddie Howe in charge, is in full flow with plenty of new developments set to be made on Tyneside as the club look to move forward.
Howe has been told that he must trim down his current playing squad should he wish to bring in more players this summer, with Matt Targett, Nick Pope and Sven Botman already arriving in the north east ahead of next season.
And, as a result, the 44-year-old has shown his ruthless side by effectively demoting three first-team players from the squad and ordering them to train with the club's reserves, in an effort to ship them out this summer.
