Newcastle United have been fighting with just one natural right-sided attacker since the end of the January transfer window. Although Jacob Murphy’s spectacular form has made that less of an issue for Newcastle manager Eddie Howe.

Newcastle want Bryan Mbeumo, who is considered Howe’s ‘dream’ signing. However, it may cost as much as £60m to release him from Brentford’s clutches after a fine season in the Premier League.
Elsewhere, Newcastle are linked with Southampton’s Tyler Dibling. The young winger has garnered praise from fans and pundits alike for his impressive performances this season. Now, his former manager has taken the time to sing the 19-year-old’s praises.
