Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe is understood to want at least three more summer signings through the door at Benton before the transfer window shuts for business.
With Sandro Tonali already an impressive addition to his squad, Howe's midfield options are looking extremely impressive with two stars fighting for a possible three positions if we are to see a continuation of 4-3-3 under the head coach. Tonali will be in the mix with Sean Longstaff, Joelinton, Joe Willock, Bruno Guimaraes and not forgetting Elliot Anderson next season in the engine room.
Of course, Anderson can fill one of the more attacking roles to further up the pitch but that is one of a few duel options for the Toon boss. Howe stated one thing clearly at the end of last season and that was he was eyeing "two XIs" or to put it another way at least two players fighting for each slot.
