Another transfer window is around the corner, clubs are already making plans, and the biggest mark on the upcoming market could be left by Newcastle United. Eddie Howe is well on his way to saving the team from relegation, which clearly means that the new owners of the club will invest huge funds in strengthening the playing staff in order for the Magpies to cope with the best teams in England. Lists are being compiled at St. James’ Park, and although they will most likely not get a sports director until November, Newcastle already have 14 players in mind for the upcoming window. The team will be assembled by coach Howe and director Amanda Staveley, and according to the first information, it could look fantastic.Man City, Newcastle and Chelsea all have ‘issues’ with where their money comes fromDan Ashworth, who left office in Brighton in February with the desire to take over the reins of an ambitious project in Newcastle, should sit in the chair of the sports director at St.James’ Park. From the south coast of England to the far north of the country.However, his departure from Amex Stadium came to a small halt, so the assessment of the English media is that he will not be able to get to work before November. Clearly, the club will not sit and wait for him – in cooperation with the scouts, Howe has compiled a list of potential signings, which director Staveley will try to bring to reality.Magpies’ transfer period could resemble a video game. The investment fund from Saudi Arabia, led by Prince Mohammed bin Salman, will not be stingy so that the club can get back on its feet as soon as possible and start growing at the desired, probably dizzying speed. That is quite clear. A new goalkeeper is wanted, as well as a centre defender, an engine in the midfield, speed on the wing and firepower in the attack.Sun 18:30: (1.53) Tottenham (4.10) Newcastle (6.50)When you look at the past transfer window, and the names on the wishlist for the upcoming (which came to the Daily Mail) the impression is that the management of the club from St.James Park will not buy the best from the market at all costs, like Paris Saint-Germain or Manchester City. It is obvious that there is a plan for the team to grow slowly, several experienced players have been hired this January, while the strategy for the July transfer window is aimed at younger players who could progress with the club.As for the goalkeepers – Bernd Leno from Arsenal is mentioned the most but so are Sam Johnston from West Bromwich Albion, Dean Henderson from Manchester United and Kepa Arrizabalaga from Chelsea. At first glance, very realistic targets. Aaron Ramsdale took the spot between the sticks from Leno in the north of London, it seems that Johnston will not win promotion with the Baggies, while Henderson and Kepa are reserves in their clubs.##EDITORS_CHOICE##On the list for strengthening the backline are the talented Croatian national team player from RB Leipzig, Joško Guardiol, as well as the polyvalent English international from the ranks of Bournemouth, Lloyd Kelly. The two are hard bargains – they are regular in their clubs, the German club paid 21 million USD to Dinamo Zagreb last July and they will not give him up just like that. Kelly, on the other hand, is one of the key defenders in Scott Parker’s team, which are well on their way to returning to the Premier League.As we go from goal to the opponent’s penalty area, the club’s ambitions seem to be growing. Yves Bissouma from Brighton and Calvin Phillips from Leeds are the ones club management wants the most. The engagement of the Seagulls midfielder seems more realistic because a large number of clubs have taken a bite at the Englishman – especially Aston Villa, who have saved up as much as 78 million USD for Phillips’ services.A proper bullseye could be the hiring of young Welshman Brennan Johnson from Nottingham Forest. It was written in January that Brentford wanted him and that the Bees were ready to set aside over 22 million USD. There was no deal and the cunning Johnson keeps on shining in the Foresters’ shirt and the Wales national team, and a bright future is predicted for him.Saga continues – the latest warning to Chelsea bidders and poisoning of AbramovichAlong with the 20-year-old football player from Nottingham, Newcastle also saw Moussa Diaby from Bayer Leverkusen as a new winger signing. Another player that Paris Saint-Germain made a mistake with is undoubtedly a more expensive option than Johnson, but he is also a player who has more experience and has proven himself on the international stage. He has been a member of the French national team since last year, and there is no doubt that his arrival would raise the club’s rating, which is another goal of the new management. Diaby’s value is estimated at as much as 61 million USD, and there is always the possibility that Pharmacists will ask for more, considering that his contract with the club lasts until July 2025.🚨 Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is a summer target for Arsenal, Man United, Newcastle and Spurs.(Source: Gazzetta) pic.twitter.com/G7jsucmJME— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) March 23, 2022 When it comes to center forwards, the Magpies are ‘flirting’ with four high-class players who also hold great potential. The targets are Dominic Calvert-Lewin from Everton, Darwin Nunez from Benfica, Patrick Schick from Leverkusen and Alexander Isak from Real Sociedad.Calvert-Lewin has also attracted the attention of some of the biggest English clubs while playing for the Toffees, and he could be especially approachable if Frank Lampard fails to save the team from relegation. Nunez seems like a hard catch, he is monitored by the biggest European clubs and Benfica will undoubtedly ask for a lot of money. Schick redirected his career to the right path in the shirt of the team from the Bay Arena, showing the European public that he is an excellent goal scorer and seems to have the physical attributes needed for the Premier League. Isak is one of the most talented strikers of today, he is the wish of many European clubs.Calvert-Lewin to Arsenal? Revival of his form and filling in the void left by AubameyangHowever, Newcastle has shown that they know how to spend in a clever way, and at the same time have huge funds at their disposal, because it is believed that the new owners have three times more wealth than all other owners of elite clubs in England – combined. Still, no money is wasted, it is invested practically and it seems to be the right way to do it. Captain Jamal Lascelles is delighted with how the last transfer window was done.’Many of the things I do are not necessarily related to the pitch, but to training. When you look at bigger teams and how they used to work, Manchester United had a group of ‘lieutenants’ in the team. I think we have something similar here now, a group of leaders.”The manager was smart about that. He didn’t just go for players who are good on the pitch, he went for players who are good in the dressing-room.’He went for leaders too like Chris Wood, Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn. The manager knows exactly what he’s doing.’The mentality has changed thanks to him.’ said the English defender.Van Gaal knows what it’s like at Old Trafford – an advice to Ten Hag: ‘Man United are a commercial club’A reminder – in the January transfer window, the first since the arrival of the new owners, Newcastle brought five players and set aside a little more than 110 million USD for their signatures. Players with great Premier League experience Chris Wood (Burnley, 33.5 million), Kieran Trippier (Atletico, 16.7 million), Dan Burn (Brighton, 16.5 million) and Matt Target (Aston Villa, loan) have been hired. The only one without experience in the league is Bruno Guimaraes, who was paid 47 million USD, but he is a member of the Brazilian national team and the club hopes he could grow into one of the best midfielders in the English top tier.’Chris Wood – a great guy off the pitch. Kieran Trippier and Dan Burn – leaders. Matt Target is a proven player. There is also Bruno, who has quality and fits in well with the guys from South America. The coach knows what he’s doing,” Lascelles added.
