Our Newcastle fans here in the Transfer Tavern cannot wait for their side to sign some top players in the summer window.
Indeed, the men from St. James’ Park have had a whirlwind few months in getting back into the Premier League and now the hard work is really going to start for the Magpies.
For sure, they cannot rest on their laurels and will need to invest so it remains to be seen who Rafa Benitez manages to sign in the summer window.
It appears as though they won’t be getting Afriyie Acquah, though, with the player saying he is committed to current club Torino on Twitter:
Reports that I claimed a ‘90% done deal’ to @NUFC completely FALSE. 100% committed to @TorinoFC_1906. See video https://t.co/onpXrStLIg

Fans have reacted to this, then, so here’s the best of what has been said:
