In the summer transfer window, Newcastle intended to strengthen their squad with England defender Marc Guehi, but he ended up staying at Crystal Palace. However, the Magpies are not discouraged by the market failure.
Details: As the club's sporting director Paul Mitchell admitted, Newcastle approached the case of Guehi as well as Anthony Elanga with a cold head. The functionary emphasises that Eddie Howe has received good reinforcements without them.
A quote: “Looking at the players we have signed, is it fair to say that some of them may have cost a lot of money? That is the subject of debate. For this club to come out and say: ‘We actually really liked this player and we thought he could benefit this squad, but [ask], at any cost?’ Doesn't that put the organisation, our growth and our plan at financial risk?’” - quotes Mitchell Goal.
Recall: Newcastle worked mainly on defence in the summer transfer window, signing defenders Lewis Hall, WILLIAM Osulu and Lloyd Kelly.
