Eddie Howe has made a lot about wanting leaders at Newcastle United. A group of players who collectively can steady the ship but equally can stand alone if called upon.
The January window saw United sign five players - all who have been deemed leaders in one way or another. Kieran Trippier is your obvious leader - loud and vocal, while someone like Bruno Guimaraes came in to lead by example, some might say in a quiet yet effective way.
United have continued their summer window in similar vain - signing players with a knack for leading from the front. Matt Targett, Sven Botman and Nick Pope all have elements of leadership.
