Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe says that the Magpies are "assessing the market" with the January window now in full swing.
This time last year, Newcastle had already signed Kieran Trippier and were close to adding Chris Wood to the list as arrival number two. But the club are taking a sensible approach to the window this winter and know that the urgency levels are nowhere near as high as 2022.
The club are talking to Real Valladolid about the future signing of Iván Fresneda with Steve Nickson spotted in Spain. But Howe indicated after the 0-0 draw with Arsenal that nothing else was close.
