Newcastle United: Frontline recruits despite the emergence of these two players?
Newcastle United could secure European football or even a Champions League spot in the remaining 12 Premier League matches. The club is expected to focus on frontline recruits for the second summer transfer window under the new owners, given the January departure of Chris Wood and the struggles for goals at various stages of the season.
Alexander Isak’s recent impressive displays suggest that Eddie Howe could already have his leading marksman for the foreseeable future. Joe White, a highly-rated young Magpies playmaker, ended speculation over his Newcastle United future by signing a new three-year contract over a year ago.
The creative midfielder made his professional debut at a Premier League stadium, coming on as a substitute in the FA Cup fourth-round defeat at Crystal Palace.
By the time his new contract expires in the summer of 2025, White confidently outlined his goal of becoming an established member of Newcastle’s star-studded senior squad.
Even if these two players show that Eddie Howe can count on them for the future, offensive recruits are expected on the Magpies’ side and there should be no status quo in the offensive field.
