Newcastle United chiefs are calm and composed when it comes to early business in this summer's transfer window.
United fans have watched on as Tottenham Hotspur swooped for James Maddison last week and Liverpool closed in on Dominik Szoboszlai from RB Leipzig. However, while both players were on Newcastle's shortlist neither player was seen as a 'be-all and end-all' signing with other exciting targets on Eddie Howe's wish-list.
Having put the groundwork in on midfielder Sandro Tonali and landing Gambian winger Yankuba Minteh earlier in the window, Newcastle's recruitment team are happy with business so far. But the feeling from within is that there is more business to follow in the coming weeks and months.
