Newcastle United's attacking targets appear to be drying up as the business end of the transfer window rapidly approaches. The Magpies look set to head into their second Premier League game of the season without the new recruits Eddie Howe desperately desires after a tricky summer to date.
The Magpies' search for added firepower has fallen flat so far, with Howe admitting to slight frustration at being unable to get deals over the line. Despite being linked with a number of targets in recent months, the Newcastle boss recently admitted the pool of players identified has been whittled down to a select few in recent times.
With three weeks to go before the window shuts, Newcastle are working hard behind the scenes to get deals over the line. Dan Ashworth was in attendance at St. James' Park on Saturday and is liaising with Howe over potential moves.
