Some Newcastle United fans will be happy to see the end of the transfer window as the Magpies are yet to make a single signing for the first-team.
With Miguel Almiron now officially an Atlanta United player, Newcastle need more bodies on the right side of the attack to keep their hopes of qualifying for the Champions League high.
Eddie Howe’s side are currently sat fifth in the Premier League which could be enough to play in Europe’s top competition next season if the English clubs keep performing as well as they are.
Sporting director Paul Mitchell has shifted the focus on Tyneside regarding recruitment. Now, Newcastle will target young players from overseas in an attempt to find cheaper hidden gems across the continent.
The strategy has already been put to work in recent months. Georgian striker Vakhtang Salia will join Newcastle in August when he turns 18.
While Mitchell’s strategy is in place, Newcastle will want to sign players domestically if the price is right. Newcastle are admirers of Tyler Dibling, but his £55m price tag is not something the Magpies can currently afford.
Howe needs reinforcements and he could look no further than a Premier League duo that Newcastle have tried to sign before. Ben Jacobs has said exactly what Newcastle must do to have a chance of signing them.
