ALL THE LATEST NEWCASTLE UNITED NEWS AS EDDIE HOWE GEARS UP FOR A BUSY SUMMER TRANSFER WINDOW 12:00, 31 May 2025 It has been revealed how much Newcastle United have in the bank ahead of the

summer transfer window. The Magpies will be eager build on their Carabao Cup success and welcome some new faces to St. James' Park. By also securing qualification to the UEFA Champions

League, Eddie Howe has the most valuable bargaining chip in football. Tyneside has suddenly become a far more attractive destination for Europe's top players, so the club must spend

their new-found riches wisely. Speaking to reporters following Newcastle's defeat to Everton on the final day of the season, Howe predicted a 'big transfer window'. The

Magpies boss said: "Difficult to say on numbers, but I do think it's a window that we have to be active in and I'm sure we will be. "We haven't recruited strongly in

three windows and I think eventually, that can catch up with you in the end if you continue not to change because change is an important part of the squad dynamic." Howe added: "I

think we feel that and I think we potentially felt that last summer as well, so I think that's why the players have done so well to carry the success through. Yes, it is going to be a

big transfer window." Bruno Guimarães also expects Newcastle to splash the cash this summer, having been left 'little bit short' on occasions due to injuries. Sharing

Howe's sentiment, the Magpies midfielder said: "We have improved a lot, but I think we're not at the level that I want. "I think for next season, we are going to need

more players to be honest with you because I think the squad is a little bit short. We have seen it last year when we played in the Champions League, we lost some players for injury and then

it was busy for us. "I think we can improve our level because next year, our season will have one more competition." According to the MailOnline, Newcastle are expected to fork

out £100m on signings this summer. The report claims that Howe wants a goalkeeper, centre back and a forward. It's said that James Trafford is viewed as the 'number one pick'

between the sticks, with the Magpies 'anticipated' to make an offer. The MailOnline add that Marc Guehi and Bryan Mbeumo are also on Newcastle's shortlist after missing out on

Dean Huijsen, who joined Real Madrid, and Matheus Cunha, who looks Manchester United-bound. The Magpies enjoyed talks with Ipswich Town regarding the potential transfer of Liam Delap, but

Chelsea have been described as 'favourites' to sign the 22-year-old striker. While Howe anticipates a 'big transfer window', he wants to wrap up business 'very

quickly'. "Speed is key for us and I have reiterated that many times internally," said Howe on Sunday afternoon. "We have to be ready to conclude things very quickly

because good players don’t hang around for long. Article continues below "You can have a period when you think you have time - but then you look around quickly and you see that time has

elapsed and you missed opportunities you won’t get again. We will do our best to do things early. "The power of the Champions League is huge. It’s a selling point for us now, it’s an

opportunity to sell that dream to future players that might be considering coming to us." HOW TO FOLLOW OUR NUFC WHATSAPP CHANNEL Did you know you can now get Newcastle United stories
