Winner of Chelsea on Saturday (4-1), Newcastle rediscovered the taste of victory after a period of truce which undoubtedly did not displease Eddie Howe. It must be said that the English coach has had to deal with numerous injuries in recent weeks, in addition to the suspension until the end of the season of Sandro Tonali, who was recruited this summer to strengthen the midfield. The Magpies, who hope to qualify for the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, and who are fighting for the top 4 in the Premier League, will have to be active during the winter transfer window.
Unfortunately, the room for maneuver is not immense for Newcastle, despite the investment fund behind. But Sandro Tonali’s ban is the element that disrupts the English club’s plans. The Telegraph explains that the Magpies would like the Italian to reduce his salary – incredible – so that they can recruit this winter. Without that, it would be difficult for Isak’s accomplices to get active, under the significant constraints of financial fair play and the FA. However, Eddie Howe has not hidden his desire to recruit, especially in defense, following the injury to Sven Botman in particular. A hell of a headache.
