Newcastle believe patience is required and, while they have already had to recalibrate after failing to secure top targets, the interim transfer team — driven by Andy Howe, the assistant head of recruitment and Eddie’s nephew, and Steve Nickson, the head of recruitment — are continuing to pursue multiple deals across several positions.

Liverpool looks to have moved on swiftly from Alexander Isak links, pivoting to Hugo Ekitike. But that does not necessarily mean that the Swede will stay put.
