Three down, two to go? With Nick Pope, Matt Targett and Sven Botman already through the door, Newcastle United will step up their search for firepower in the coming weeks.
In an ideal world, Eddie Howe would love to bring in a young striker to support Callum Wilson and a wide forward to give his side a new dimension in the final third. It is easy to see why Howe wants another striker after Wilson was Newcastle's top scorer with eight goals last season despite missing so much of the campaign through injury, but Howe believes a goalscoring winger could also help ease the burden on the number nine.
Newcastle already appear well-stocked out wide but, although Allan Saint-Maximin has been the undisputed first-choice on the left wing, the Magpies have lacked a similar option out on the right. In fact, Howe has used a number of different wingers since taking charge last November, including Ryan Fraser, Miguel Almiron, Jacob Murphy and, even, Joelinton.
