Jack Wilshere has told talkSPORT that Eddie Howe would be a very good managerial appointment for Newcastle United.

Eddie Howe rumour

Newcastle are on the hunt for a new manager following the departure of Steve Bruce.

Former Bournemouth boss Howe is among the managerial candidates for the Magpies, according to 90min.

Jack Wilshere’s verdict

Former Arsenal midfielder Wilshere worked with Howe at Bournemouth.

And the Englishman, 29, has said that Howe would be able to take Newcastle to the next level.

Wilshere told talkSPORT: “I think he’d be great with the players Newcastle have got. With the transition they’re in, he could take them to the next level.”

Would Eddie Howe be a good fit for Newcastle?

Okay, so Howe is not a Premier League or a Champions League winner.

But, in our view, the Englishman would be a very good managerial appointment.

Just look at his work at Bournemouth.

Yes, the Cherries eventually got relegated to the Championship, but the 43-year-old took the team there and also played good football in the top division.

Let’s not ignore the fact that Newcastle are in relegation danger.

For the players that Newcastle have, a manager like Howe who knows how to get teams out of trouble is needed.

Furthermore, Howe worked with Newcastle trio Matt Ritchie, Callum Wilson and Ryan Frasier at Bournemouth.
