Newcastle United are lucky to have a squad brimming with quality and exciting players.
Since Newcastle United were taken over by Saudi Arabia’s PIF in 2021, the club has had a healthy war chest to utilise in the transfer market.
Though there haven’t been any signings of the Kylian Mbappe-level that were touted amid the takeover, the Magpies have still spent a lot of money on Eddie Howe’s squad, which is capable of duking it out at the top end of the Premier League.
Here is every member of the squad, their stats in 2024/25 and how much they cost in the transfer market.
