Newcastle United's 2021/22 season simulated after January transfer window overhaul

Newcastle United brought in five players for a total of around £85 million in the January transfer window in a bid to secure their Premier League safety.

With the Magpies currently sat in 18th place in the league, Eddie Howe's side wasted no time in their first transfer window under new ownership, completing the signings of Dan Burn, Matt Targett and Chris Wood from fellow Premier League clubs as well as bringing in Kieran Trippier and Bruno Guimaraes from abroad.

There was a major focus on defensive reinforcements for the Magpies in January, and all five of the new signings are expected to play a major part in their efforts to remain in the top division.
