Newcastle United are weighing up a number of options as they try to add a new face to their team sheet for the opening game of the season against Nottingham Forest.
Eddie Howe stated that he would have liked to have secured a new attacking player by now but admitted over the weekend there was no internal frustrations on transfers. Having been backed with £140million in 2022 so far Howe has no doubts the club's Saudi-based owners are on the same page as him.
The issues on transfers have been down to outside influences beyond Newcastle's control with price hikes and agent demands hindering certain deals. Newcastle made it clear from the get go that they would not get swept away with crazy prices.
