# Newcastle: Dharmesh Sheth expects ‘more additions’ at St James’ Park

**Sky Sports reporter Dharmesh Sheth has made an exciting claim about the possibility of further transfer business at [Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) this summer.**

### The lowdown: Three in…

So far during the off-season, sporting director Dan Ashworth and ownership group PIF have added Matt Targett (permanently), Sven Botman and Nick Pope to Eddie Howe’s squad, spending £59.4m in the process ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/newcastle-united/transfers/verein/762)).

Meanwhile, outcast striker Dwight Gayle became the latest player to leave the Magpies as the 34-year-old [joined](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/62265586#:~:text=Stoke%20City%20have%20signed%20striker,worth%20a%20reported%20%C2%A310m.) Stoke City, following Isaac Hayden, Ciaran Clark, Freddie Woodman and Jeff Hendrick [out the door](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/newcastle-united/transfers/verein/762) at St James’ Park.

With the transfer window set to remain open [until September 1](https://www.premierleague.com/news/102378#:~:text=The%20Summer%202022%20Transfer%20Window%20for%20Premier%20League%20clubs%20will,line%20with%20other%20European%20leagues.), there is plenty of time for Newcastle to get deals over the line, something that one well-informed onlooker now expects to happen…

### The latest: ‘A few more additions’

Speaking to [GiveMeSport](https://www.givemesport.com/88037614-newcastle-howe-will-reinforce-two-key-positions-at-st-james-park), Sheth has claimed that the Magpies will almost certainly add to their ranks before the deadline, earmarking two key positions in particular.

He said: “Callum Wilson, of course, is their number nine at the moment, but he’s got a history of injuries, and when he’s played, his goals to games ratio is fantastic, but he misses too many games.

“So, I think they will want to reinforce that area and reinforce the area on the right-wing as well.

“So, all along the forward line, I would expect before 31st of August, maybe not necessarily before the start of the season, but definitely before the window closes, for Newcastle to have a few more additions.”

### The verdict: Fingers crossed

Newcastle have been left somewhat frustrated in multiple pursuits during the window thus far, with the long and [ultimately fruitless](https://www.football365.com/news/newcastle-pull-out-of-ekitike-deal-over-difficult-negotiations-with-young-strikers-agent) endeavour to sign talented French striker Hugo Ekitike, particularly time-consuming.

However, despite interest in many targets seemingly falling by the wayside, including the [current pursuit](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11040889/Newcastle-ask-Rennes-winger-Kamaldeen-Sulemana-having-rejected-Leeds-35m-ask-Harrison.html) of Jack Harrison from Leeds United, the Tynesiders must continue to seek out worthwhile targets in order to suitably strengthen the options at Howe’s disposal.

While there was a major [upturn in fortunes](https://www.football365.com/news/opinion-howe-revitalised-newcastle-through-good-old-fashioned-coaching-joelinton-trippier) last season following the appointment of the 44-year-old and the January spending sanctioned by chairman Yasir Al-Rumayyan, the depth of the squad remains [threadbare in places](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/newcastle-united/kadernachposition/verein/762). In order to continue on an upwards trajectory in the Premier League and perhaps mount a genuine cup run, further signings will be required.

Recently linked with a move for attacking trio [Memphis Depay](https://www.90min.com/posts/newcastle-continue-search-attacking-reinforcements-moussa-diaby-setback), [Kamaldeen Sulemana](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-11040889/Newcastle-ask-Rennes-winger-Kamaldeen-Sulemana-having-rejected-Leeds-35m-ask-Harrison.html) and [Marco Asensio](https://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/1637471/Newcastle-Marco-Asensio-Arsenal-Liverpool-transfer-news-gossip), there is still a distinct possibility that there will indeed be further much-needed incomings to the Newcastle ranks.
