Newcastle United will be hoping for a better year in 2025 but 2024 still had its highlights, even if it was a 12 months of inconsistency.
Eddie Howe’s side continued to prove they have the talent and skill to challenge the established Premier League giants but followed up good results with disappointing defeats far too often.
Newcastle United fans will no doubt be hoping the PIF ownership invest in the squad in 2025 to bring in some more quality in key positions.
Yet, the Magpies have one of the biggest squads in the Premier League, with Howe using 31 players over the last year.

It’s crucial Newcastle keep Bruno Guimaraes
Bruno Guimaraes finishes 2024 as Newcastle’s top appearance-maker and it shows just how crucial he is to Howe’s side.
The stand-in captain has been an ever present in the heart of midfield and offers so much quality on the ball, in attacking areas and in the hard defensive work.
Rumours continue to swirl that Manchester City could make a move for Guimaraes in January but it’s absolutely crucial the Toon keep hold of him.
