Following the acquisition of a new central defender in January, Newcastle will now be on the market for a world-class player. Attempts were made to sign Sven Botman and Diego Carlos during Eddie Howe’s winter transfer window. To their displeasure, none of them hadmade the transfer to St James’ Park.

A €15million deal from Brighton brought Dan Burninto the fold, which has been an instant success. Even if the Magpipes’ defense has improved, the club is always on the lookout for new additions during the summer transfer window. In the current state of affairs, the teamlacks a regular goalscorer.

Because Callum Wilson has been out since December with an injury, he has been unable to contribute anything on the offensive end. The arrival of Chris Wood from Burnley in a €30 million deal in January hasn’t had much of an influence on the team.
