Eddie Howe is confident that the transfer targets on his shortlist will get Newcastle United supporters excited this summer.
Howe said that some of the players he has in mind would slot into the same "marquee" bracket as Alexander Isak did last summer after his £63million arrival from Real Sociedad. But he also suggested Newcastle must bring in the right characters.
First Howe confirmed that transfer meetings will take place in the next few days with sporting director Dan Ashworth and the owners. But Howe said Newcastle do not currently have plans to strike early in the summer with getting players in for the start of pre-season in early July closer to the mark in his eyes.
