Eddie Howe’s work off the pitch is as remarkable as on it, with virtually all of his signings so far proving to be more than adequate for the job in hand.
Each player has been carefully considered, and the diligence of the manager, his recruitment team and backroom staff can be seen once the team set foot on the pitch.
Newcastle look like a well-oiled machine with no sign of weakness in any area at present.

After watching their opening couple of Premier League games, it would be difficult to pinpoint where the club could improve, though that said, a bit of strength in depth wouldn’t go amiss.
Perhaps that’s why Spazio Napoli have suggested that Newcastle are trying to secure the services of Napoli’s 28-year-old attacking sensation, Hirving Lozano.
