Newcastle United are preparing for a busy summer transfer window as Eddie Howe looks to reshape his squad following a disappointing 12th-place finish last season. The Magpies have already lost Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon to Tottenham Hotspur and Barcelona respectively, but have brought in three new faces: Sean Steur, Bazoumana Toure, and Ewen Jaouen. A fourth signing is imminent, with the club agreeing a £34million deal for Monaco midfielder Aladji Bamba.
In goal, the arrival of 20-year-old Ewen Jaouen from Stade Reims for £18.5million adds depth, but his lack of top-flight experience could prompt further recruitment. Interest in James Trafford has cooled, with the Manchester City goalkeeper preferring a move to Leeds United. Nick Pope remains the number one for now.
At right-back, Tino Livramento's injury withdrawal from the England World Cup squad raises fitness concerns. Newcastle are monitoring Guela Doue, brother of PSG's Désiré Doue, as well as Chelsea defender Josh Acheampong to bolster options.
Midfield reinforcements are a priority after Tonali's £100million departure. Tottenham's Lucas Bergvall is a target, with Spurs hoping for £50million, though Newcastle are holding firm on their valuation. Alternative options include Auxerre's Kevin Danois and Brazil international Danilo Santos, who revived his career at Botafogo after leaving Nottingham Forest.
