Newcastle United sporting director Dan Ashworth will hold key talks next month with both the board and Eddie Howe ahead of the January window.
Although, the discussions won't just focus on new players for 2023 as Ashworth feeds back his thoughts following his first few months in the job. The former Brighton & Hove Albion supremo has already made it clear that it isn't just going to be a case of "spend while your winning".
In a round table with journalists this month at St James' Park he indicated it was not sustainable to spend £200million per year on players. But that doesn't mean there won't be money to spend in January if Howe requires it.
