Newcastle United have offered both Matt Ritchie and Paul Dummett fresh terms ahead of the 2023/24 season.
And Eddie Howe hopes that both of his experienced campaigners will join him for the start of pre-season training early next month. Both Dummett and Ritchie barely featured last season in the Premier League but Howe hopes to involve both.
As it stands both have gone away to enjoy a summer break but Howe has underlined the importance of both players in recent times. On Ritchie, he said towards the end of the season: "I would love him to continue his journey with Newcastle next year but there will be conversations to take place before that happens."
