Newcastle United are preparing for a hectic end to the summer transfer window, with up to four more potential signings on the horizon as Matthias Jaissle looks to finalise his squad. The Magpies have already brought in five players, but the need for a replacement for Bruno Guimaraes, who moved to Arsenal, remains a priority.
Midfield targets
Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg is a key target, with talks reportedly underway. The 31-year-old Denmark and Marseille captain is seen as an experienced option to bolster United's young squad. Meanwhile, Bayern Munich's Joao Palhinha has also caught the club's interest, according to reports. The former Spurs and Fulham midfielder is expected to leave Bayern, with Aston Villa having held talks, but Newcastle could potentially hijack the deal to add Premier League experience.
Goalkeeper situation
Nick Pope is set to leave St James' Park, with Celtic reportedly monitoring his situation. The former England keeper has been linked with Ipswich, Wolves, and Hull City throughout the summer. Newcastle have signed Lukas Hornicek and Ewen Jaouen this window, and Jaissle has hinted that Pope's time at the club may be ending soon.
Other departures
Jacob Murphy and Joe Willock have also been linked with moves away, as Jaissle assesses his squad after taking over from Eddie Howe. With only 23 days left in the window, decisions will need to be made quickly to avoid protracted negotiations.
