A report from iNews claims that the Magpies are preparing a serious investment in their team, with Eddie Howe set to receive significant support.
Their report quotes sources as saying that “constant meetings” are already taking place and that “we have clear plans about what we want to do.”
Which positions does Newcastle want to strengthen in the summer transfer period?
According to the report, Newcastle are looking for a new goalkeeper, a new centre-back, a left-back, a midfielder and possible support for their forwards.
There aren’t too many specific names in circulation yet, although the report mentions someone NUFC were eyeing for that midfield position.
However, the player in question is now unavailable.
Patrick Zabi was a target for Newcastle when he was at Reims, but he has recently ended up at Paris FC instead.
Newcastle need significant spending after last summer’s nightmare
Newcastle have really suffered this season, with Howe’s side in 11th place in the Premier League.
It seems clear the club were unprepared for Alexander Isak’s departure, but they now need to use the money from his sale to fund new signings in a number of areas.
It is also crucial that Newcastle do not lose any other star names, with worrying reports emerging this week that Arsenal are targeting Sandro Tonali.
Other big names such as Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall are the subject of speculation, so it could be a long window for the north-eastern club.
