Newcastle United squad numbers available to new signings as Magpies gear up for new season

A host of squad numbers are up for grabs to any prospective Newcastle United signings this summer.

The departures of Dwight Gayle, Ciaran Clark, Jeff Hendrick, Isaac Hayden and Freddie Woodman have opened up several squad number options ahead of the upcoming Premier League season.

Isaac Hayden has now vacated the number 14 shirt he wore for over half a decade while the number 16 is now open following Jeff Hendrick's move to Reading.

Additionally, Dwight Gayle's 34 is also available after the striker recently joined Stoke City.

There has also already been a small re-jig of the Magpies numbers within Eddie Howe's squad for next season too.

Pre-season saw new goalkeeper Nick Pope claim the number 22 shirt, while Sven Botman looks set to wear the number four shirt previously worn by Matty Longstaff.

Longstaff wore 27 in pre-season, which was Woodman's former shirt. Additionally, Matt Targett looks set to keep the number 13 shirt he wore last season during his loan spell.

Kieran Trippier also has a new number ahead of the upcoming Premier League season, taking up Ciaran Clark's number two shirt, which sees him vacate the number 15 he wore last term.
