Newcastle United chiefs are staying cool when it comes to the summer transfer window despite the Sven Botman saga going into extra time.
And the official message - as co-owner Mehrdad Ghodoussi took to social media - to come from the boardroom this week was: "Patience is a virtue". Although, there is plenty of trust in the new board and fans are simply happy to see the club showing ambition and being active in the transfer window.
Botman has been made an excellent off by the Magpies but continues to mull over his next move with AC Milan still effectively still in the race to sign him. But something will have to give at some stage with Lille wanting a fee for the Dutch centre-back and sufficient time to land a replacement.
