Newcastle United are looking at a 'huge list' of alternative transfer targets but Eddie Howe has warned there is no 'guarantee' that the Magpies will make a breakthrough in the final 10 days of the window.
Newcastle have already brought in Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood, but the pair may end up being the most straightforward signings the club make this month.
Atletico Madrid, after all, were willing to respect Trippier's wishes to return to the north of England while Burnley had no choice but to accept Newcastle's £25m bid after the black-and-whites triggered the release clause in the striker's contract.
