Despite Newcastle United losing the EFL Cup final to Manchester United, there is a lot of hope on Tyneside these days.
The fact the Magpies went that far in the competition and are currently fighting for a Champions League spot in the Premier League is a testament to the good work both the transfer area and Eddie Howe have done under the new ownership, and the desire from fans is that it continues.
That means making smart transfer decisions on the market, while spending money when it needs to be, with Newcastle expected to have another busy window once the season ends.
A new midfielder could go a long way at St James’ Park, which is why someone like Marco Asensio, currently at Real Madrid, could be of use.
This is according to Fichajes in Spain, who look at the transfers Newcastle could make in the coming months, including the Spaniard in their list as one of the three ‘clear objectives’ they have.
They explain that with his renewal in Madrid ‘up in the air’, there’s the belief he could ‘try his luck’ in England, where he would, on top of being guaranteed minutes, ‘have a much more succulent contract’ than the one he is currently tied to with Real.
Something to think about, as Newcastle, while focusing on the present, start looking to the future and what could be available on the market going forward.
