“While Newcastle United faced a forgettable January transfer window, the focus at St James’ Park has now shifted to the upcoming summer window as they aim to compensate for the disappointments of the previous month. Seeking reinforcements, the Magpies are now eyeing a potential future star for Eddie Howe’s squad.
During the January window, Newcastle’s attention appeared to be primarily on retaining players, especially amidst rumors linking key figures like Callum Wilson, Miguel Almiron, and Kieran Trippier with exits, although none of these materialized in the end. However, following the deadline day, the focus has now shifted towards identifying potential targets for the upcoming summer transfer window.
Players like Amadou Onana, Anton Stach, and Matias Soule have already emerged as potential summer targets, indicating Newcastle’s intention to make significant investments once more under the ownership of PIF at St James’ Park.
With wealthy owners at the helm, there’s a renewed determination to make astute investments, particularly after last summer’s disappointments. Despite welcoming talents like the since-banned Sandro Tonali, injury-prone Harvey Barnes, and Lewis Hall, who has fallen out of favor, only Tino Livramento has emerged as a success story thus far. As June approaches, Newcastle could kick off the summer transfer window on a high note by potentially disrupting Arsenal’s deal.
Newcastle is considering a move for Amario Cozier-Duberry in the event that his potential new contract with Arsenal falls through. However, securing his signature will be fiercely competitive if he opts not to extend his stay in North London, as Wolverhampton Wanderers, Ajax, Borussia Dortmund, and Anderlecht are also vying for his services.
