Newcastle United have reportedly put their transfer plans on hold ahead of a very important weekend for the club.
The Chronicle has reported that Newcastle United’s plans to sign Danny Ings from Burnley rest on their Premier League status.
Newcastle go into a massive game against West Ham United this weekend needing a win to be sure of their place in the top flight for next season.
The club staying up would mean joining Newcastle would represent the chance for Ings to continue playing Premier League football, but if the Magpies go down, it will be remarkable if he turns his back on Burnley for another team in the Championship.
The paper claims that Ings is not the only transfer that Newcastle have been forced to put on the back burner as the club’s poor recent form has left them in a difficult position fighting for survival under John Carver.
The Premier League is important for a variety of reasons, with one of the most obvious being the financial benefits created through league position and broadcasting rights.
It will have a big impact on Newcastle’s transfer kitty if they go down and it may end up being the case that the club is priced out of several deals they’d otherwise have a very good chance of completing.
