The transfer agenda at Newcastle United this summer is a hectic one. Building on the second half of the 2021/22 season is vitally important for Eddie Howe and he will be acutely aware of where he wants to strengthen a squad that is largely full of players he has inherited.
Despite the opening of the transfer window being a week away, he and his recruitment team are already taking the first steps to address the weaknesses in the side. The wheels are said to already be in motion for the potential signings of both Sven Botman and Hugo Ekitike, two of the club’s targets in January.
Another centre-back and a striker are high on the list of priorities for Howe and co but there are other positions that will be targeted over the next few weeks and months. The United manager has made it clear that he is keen to have two goalkeepers fighting for the number one spot and that could be where attention turns next.
