According to the Daily Mail, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe is looking to add four Premier League stars to strengthen the squad going into next season.
The report claims that his wish lists include Leicester City’s Harvey Barnes, Manchester United’ Scott Mctominay, Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney, and Southampton’s James Ward-Prowse.
The report also claims that Inter Milan are interested in signing Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin in the summer.
The Frenchman’s season has been hampered by minor injuries which resulted in him losing his place in the starting XI. He has since then struggled to get regular starts much to his frustration.
Despite Howe stating his keenness to keep the 26-year-old, according to 90min, Newcastle will be open to selling the him in the summer.
Newcastle will need to sell to buy in the summer in order to adhere to the Financial Fair Play rules and keep the books balanced.
Since the takeover by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund, Newcastle have made huge strides. In their full first season under Eddie Howe and the backing of the owners they managed to reach their first cup final in 24 years.
They are fighting for a top 4 place, currently sitting 3rd in the table. With just 10 games left, Champions League qualification looks very much possible for the Magpies which will be a huge boost for them.
