Newcastle United will look to resolve the futures of a clutch of players due to return to pre-season training in the next fortnight.
The Magpies have three senior loanees set for a return to Benton in early July with Karl Darlow, Isaac Hayden and Republic of Ireland international Jeff Hendrick contracted to come back for pre-season. Howe has already hinted that midfield duo Hayden and Hendrick are likely to leave as United looked to trim the squad and the wage bill.
Hayden has three years left on his current Toon contract while Hendrick is entering the last 12 months of his existing deal. Darlow has two years left on his contract.
