Astute and ambitious investment over the past several years, following the PIF-backed club takeover in 2021, has seen St. James’ Park rise from a slippery position at the bottom of the Premier League to enjoy a campaign in the Champions League, now considered a mainstay in and around Europe-qualifying contention.
There’s no doubt that the Magpies have spent though, with an urgency to comply with profit and sustainability (PSR) rules ahead of the June 30 deadline.
But still, Newcastle have one eye on strengthening once such obstacles have been circumvented.
Newcastle lining up forward signings
As per The Telegraph, Newcastle had been edging toward signing Dominic Calvert-Lewin in recent days.
However, Sky Sports have since revealed that that move has collapsed, taking Yankuba Minteh’s move to Everton with it.
Howe’s not only considering upfront however, with journalist Graeme Bailey revealing that an enquiry has been made for Wolverhampton Wanderers winger Pedro Neto, who is expected to leave Molineux this summer.
Valued at £60m by the Old Gold and on Newcastle’s radar for some time now, Neto can play across both flanks and would be a tremendous addition ahead of the new campaign.
