Newcastle United verdict cast on defensive additions after Sven Botman signing

Newcastle United have been praised for their business in the transfer market after the arrival of Sven Botman. Former Premier League shot stopper Paddy Kenny believes Eddie Howe's side will be 'solid' next season as they head into the 2022/23 Premier League campaign.

Since January, the Magpies have signed four defenders and added a goalkeeper to their ranks. The arrivals of Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier and Matt Targett aided last year's survival bid, with the signings of Nick Pope and Sven Botman expected to lift Newcastle to new found heights under the new ownership.

The lofty ambition to challenge for Premier League titles and Champions League honours is one for the future, but the steady approach to rebuilding the squad needs praise so far. Next season will be make or break in a number of ways.
