Newcastle United are expected to have money to spend in the January transfer window.
With the January transfer window now open, we take a look at how Newcastle United’s team may look at the end of the month.
Goalkeeper: Karl Darlow
Rob Elliot may be edging closer to fitness, but Rafael Benitez has no reason to change his number one at St. James’ Park.
Left-back: Paul Dummett
He still divides opinion of Newcastle’s fans, but seems to have established himself as first choice left-back.
Centre-back: Jamaal Lascelles
The club captain will remain an important part of Newcastle’s team.
Centre-back: Ciaran Clark
He has been a solid option since moving from Aston Villa.
Right-back: DeAndre Yedlin
Yedlin has been used sparingly so far, but he could still have a big part to play before the end of the season.
Defensive midfield: Isaac Hayden / Tom Cleverley
Hayden has been excellent since moving to Newcastle, but Cleverley’s potential arrival could increase competition (Daily Mail).
Defensive midfield: Jonjo Shelvey
Newcastle’s key man will come back into the first-team when he returns from suspension.
Right-wing: Ruben Loftus Cheek
Newcastle have been linked with a loan move for the Chelsea youngster and he would make an excellent addition (The Sun).
Attacking midfield: Fabian Delph
Delph could be given an attacking role at Newcastle, such is his quality, if Benitez is able to sign the Manchester City man (The Sun).
Left-wing: Matt Ritchie
Ritchie has been a superb signing for the Magpies, and his place in the starting line-up looks safe.
Striker: Dwight Gayle
After scoring 19 goals for the season already, Gayle looks set to stay as Newcastle’s main front man.
