Transfer deadline day: The summer transfer window closes at 11pm on Friday, September 1
Newcastle United have been very busy in the summer transfer window to date, however, they face two major headaches between now and deadline day. The Magpies have strengthened the depth of their squad with just the loss of Allan Saint-Maximin that will really impact Eddie Howe’s first-team plans going forward.

Sven Botman hobbled off against Liverpool and although the Dutchman left St James’ Park without needing to wear a protective boot or use crutches, his injury could make the club rethink their end to the summer window. An extended spell on the sidelines for Botman could make the club act to sign cover.
