Newcastle United may be forced into the loan market this summer despite their new-found wealth following the £300m Saudi takeover. Eddie Howe's side have already spent close to £60m this window by adding Nick Pope, Sven Botman and Matt Targett to their ranks in recent weeks.
The Magpies unleashed another £90m back in January in the battle to avoid Premier League relegation. As such, the new owners will have one eye on the balance sheets as they navigate their way through the next six weeks of transfer business.
Newcastle's budget this summer varies depending on who you ask, with numerous publications estimating anything between £60m to over £100m. But the new owners know they must be patient and build steadily as they plot the club's ascent up the Premier League.
