Gary Neville sends transfer warning to Newcastle in hope Howe doesn't suffer Lampard fate

Gary Neville has warned Newcastle United's owners they must balance their own ambition and try to keep their measured approach going into the summer transfer window. The former Manchester United defender says the Magpies should aim to bring in three or four quality players that tie in with Eddie Howe's current ethos at St. James' Park.

Neville draws comparisons between both Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool and Frank Lampard's Chelsea in 2019 as a signpost of how quickly things can unravel at the top. The Reds are hot on the heels of Newcastle in the race for Champions League football, albeit the Magpies are in control of their own destiny and have a game in hand on the Scousers.

The Toon are widely expected to invest into their playing squad again this summer, with the restraints of Financial Fair Play much looser if they are to qualify for the Champions League. Liverpool themselves will want to be back in a position where they challenge for the Premier League title, but need a different kind of approach in the summer transfer window.
