Newcastle United suffered their first defeat of the new Premier League campaign on Wednesday night as Liverpool came from behind to win 2-1 in the dying moments of the game, giving the Magpies even more impetus to strengthen their side.
Injuries to players such as Callum Wilson, Bruno Guimaraes and Allan Saint-Maximin have already caused huge cause for concern, despite spending more than £120million this summer, and Eddie Howe is determined to not fall short in the remaining hours of the transfer window.
And Newcastle ’s owners have now provided the 44-year-old with extra funds to go out and complete any necessary deals ahead of the rest of the campaign, with the Magpies boss eyeing a new right back and midfielder.
