Newcastle United are plotting an audacious swoop on Chelsea for four players in a late transfer window move as Eddie Howe tries to bolster his squad before September 1.
The Magpies have expressed an interest in Callum Hudson-Odoi, Conor Gallagher and Christian Pulisic, according to the Telegraph. Newcastle are also keen on a move for Armando Broja, but would only be able to sign one Chelsea player on loan and they do not have the capability to sign multiple players on permanent contracts.
This is due to the financial constraints that have been placed upon Howe, with the Magpies boss only allowed to spend a certain amount per-window as Newcastle's Saudi-led owners slowly re-build for the future. They have made just two signings this summer, as Nick Pope arrived in a £10million move from Burnley, while highly-rated Netherlands international Sven Botman made the switch from Lille.
