Eddie Howe hopes Newcastle United can get a 'couple more deals done' this summer as the Magpies' head coach targets 'top quality players'.
Newcastle have made three signings so far in the window, bringing in goalkeeper Nick Pope and defenders Sven Botman and Matt Targett, but securing more firepower was always the priority. Callum Wilson, after all, was the club's top scorer last season with just eight goals despite missing several months of the campaign through injury.
Newcastle looked to make a quick breakthrough to sign a player who could help ease the burden on Wilson and the Magpies had a bid accepted by Stade de Reims for striker Hugo Ekitike last month. However, Ekitike ultimately ended up joining PSG instead.
