Transfer deadline day was a busy one for Newcastle United but, ultimately one that reflects the struggles the club have endured throughout the window.
It’s been a slog of a transfer window for Newcastle United, with the club missing out on several top targets ahead of their return to Champions League football.
A star striker in Nick Woltemade was finally recruited for a record £69m, but the protracted chase disrupted Newcastle’s preparations and they have picked up just two points from their first three games in the Premier League.
Anthony Elanga, Jacob Ramsey and Malick Thiaw were other major first-team arrivals, with Newcastle’s summer spending reaching new heights of over £250m under PIF.
The summer will (not fondly) be remembered for the Alexander Isak saga, which also served to throw the club into chaos but was finally resolved on deadline day.
Eddie Howe now knows what his squad for the season looks like, until January at least, and here’s every deal that was completed on deadline day.
