So much has already been said about Newcastle United ahead of the summer transfer window. While Eddie Howe’s side still have a battle on their hands to ensure they are playing Europa League football next season, there is little doubting the huge focus on the summer. Indeed, there are said to be plans for a big rebuild at the club after a difficult campaign in which Howe’s squad has been seriously stretched. Quite whether or not FFP limitations will allow Howe to completely revamp his playing options ahead of next season remains to be seen. Newcastle may even need to sell to buy given the balan ..read more

It appears that Newcastle United suddenly have a more concrete plan for what the future holds for Yankuba Minteh. The 19-year-old has been enjoying a sensational season on loan at Feyenoord, having joined the Dutch side immediately after Newcastle United announced his £6million arrival at St James’ Park. Yankuba Minteh has done very well in the Eredivisie, playing regularly for Feyenoord – including making his Champions League debut.

As is always the case with Eddie Howe, so many Newcastle United players have improved this season. The Newcastle United manager is a master at making his players better, and it has been the foundation for his success at St James’ Park. Anthony Gordon has been Eddie Howe‘s biggest success story. The 23-year-old was not great when he first arrived last season, but he was always viewed as a player for the following year. Throughout the 2023/24 campaign, Gordon has been so reliable for the Magpies. He has been a regular source of goals and assists, boasting 22 goal contributions in all competition ..read more

Newcastle United have three massive games left this season, and Eddie Howe knows that three more wins will deliver European football. The Magpies are very much in control of their own destiny, having won consecutive Premier League games to move up to sixth in the table.

Eddie Howe has stated that Newcastle United need to sign players before they truly reach their potential, and that is exactly what they are trying to do this summer. While established names like Lloyd Kelly, Tosin Adarabioyo and Morgan Gibbs-White are being linked with moves to Newcastle United, the club are also looking at much younger prospects who could go on to have a huge impact in black and white. That is a more cost effective way for Newcastle United to do business, as it means they are not paying a premium price for ready-made stars. As Eddie Howe says, smart recruitment will be the di ..read more

Dougie Freedman appears to be the frontrunner to become Newcastle United’s next sporting director. The Magpies’ search for Dan Ashworth’s successor is down to two candidates, and Dougie Freedman is still in the hunt. The other remaining candidate is Johannes Spors, who is the sporting director for the 777 Group that have been trying to buy Everton. He has experience in Europe, which could be valuable for a Newcastle United side that want to recruit players from all over the globe. But Freedman has his strengths too, and impressed Newcastle officials with his straight-talking style during a rec ..read more

But Wednesday was all about nostalgia, as a Newcastle United flop proved to be the difference maker for the b ..read more
