Eddie Howe is assessing Newcastle United's option going into the final straight of the summer transfer window.
Howe lost Emil Krafth for a matter of months following an ACL injury sustained at Tranmere last week in the League Cup and an injury to Bruno Guimaraes, coupled with Jonjo Shelvey's longer-term absence, exposed Howe's limitations in midfield. Ahead of the last two days of the window, a midfielder and forward player will come into his thoughts.
Howe said: "Maybe, we’ll have a look, and count the bodies, see who we have fit – and then see if we can make a decision in the market."
