Eddie Howe has revealed he wants to sign a player that will "excite" the Newcastle public after the shock sale of Chris Wood.
The £25million striker, who signed from Burnley last winter, will make his move to Nottingham Forest today after asking to leave St James' Park to pursue an excellent opportunity as he enters the autumn of his career. Wood leaves Newcastle with the best wishes of all the staff on Tyneside.
But now the time has come to turn a new page in the striker department for Howe and his staff. He admitted that the club were looking at a "pool of players" and face a race against time to get a deal done.
