Newcastle United head into the final stage of the summer window still pushing to sign attacking options for Eddie Howe's side. It has proved a frustrating few weeks in terms of incomings after three deals were done before July had even rolled around.
The Magpies boss has admitted he wants more bodies through the door before September 1 as he seeks firepower for his side. Work is being done behind the scenes to ensure a handful of attacking options are signed before the summer deadline.
So with less than two weeks left of the transfer window, where do Newcastle stand in their hunt for creativity at the top end of the pitch?
