Newcastle have rapidly developed a team under Eddie Howe capable of challenging for a place in the Champions League, but consistent new arrivals on Tyneside has meant certain players have had to look elsewhere in seeking out other Premier League opportunities.

The New Zealand striker lasted just a year at Newcastle before joining Nottingham Forest in a loan deal with an obligation to buy.
