Newcastle United will already be planning for the January transfer window and have numerous areas they will need to prioritise.
Here, we take a look at the key areas that Newcastle United need to address when the January transfer window opens:
The summer was dominated by Newcastle United’s pursuit of Marc Guehi. The club ultimately failed to get Crystal Palace to sell the defender, but will they be more successful this time around.
Palace’s disappointing start to the campaign, coupled with Guehi slowly creeping closer to his contract ending at Selhurst Park, means Newcastle may feel they can test the Eagles’ resolve once again in winter. The Magpies have started the season fairly defensively solid and have Sven Botman to come back into the fold. However, with Fabian Schar and Dan Burn the wrong side of 30, signing a younger defender to build the defence around may be the way forward. A Tino Livramento, Guehi, Botman and Lewis Hall defence could be one that starts for the Magpies for years to come.
Finally signing that right winger
Newcastle United have needed to strengthen at right wing in the last two or three transfer windows, could January finally be the time they do that? A very, very late move for Anthony Elanga in the summer was rebuffed by Nottingham Forest and whilst interest still remains in the Swedish international, they may have other options up their sleeve.
