The summer transfer window opens on Friday 14 June, with clubs being able to sign players from that date. After a very quiet winter window, Newcastle United are expected to be a lot more active this time around with a lot more activity, both in and out, anticipated on Tyneside.
Euro 2024 could complicate matters, however, with that tournament likely to delay any moves for players in Germany representing their country.
Unsurprisingly, Newcastle have been linked with signing a whole host of players this summer and could look to strengthen in all areas as Howe’s squad look to put the disappointment of missing out on European football behind them as they prepare to attack the Premier League and domestic cup competitions.
Most recently, Newcastle have been linked with a move for Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford with reports on Saturday suggesting they had lodged a bid for the Clarets man. Furthermore, they are also closing in on the signing of Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly with the 25-year-old expected to complete a free transfer to St James’ Park.
