Despite missing out on Michael Olise who is Bayern Munich bound, Eddie Howe is determined to bring a new right forward to Newcastle United.

It promises to be a busy summer for Howe and Newcastle, who will be immediately focused on selling a player or two before Sunday’s PSR deadline🌃.

By June 30, Newcastle need to raise funds through player sales, to avoid a s🌞hortfall in their three-year rolling figures.

Yankuba Minteh is emerging as the pl꧂ayer most likely to leave Newcastle, who could depart without playing a sꦡenior game for the club.

Newcastle staff think they are very close to selling Minteh fo🎃r £25m, given he 𓆏has agreed personal tﷺerms with an unnamed club.

Such a sale would then give Newcastle flexibility to explore the market th꧋emselves, hoping to addඣ to Lloyd Kelly’s arrival on a free transfer.

Newcastle have been told Dominic Calvert-🐼Lewin will cost £37mꦿ this summer, which could perhaps even be a deal that is concluded promptly, 🐟if there is suff🔴icient interest on Tyneside.

But Howe’s priority target is arguably the𝐆 addition of a new right-winger, someone who can complete his front line along with Anthony Gordon and Alexander Isak.

Newcastle’s recruitment team discussing a move for West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen

For a while it looked like Crystal Palace’s Michael Olise could🌌 be th💛e player to arrive, but he has now chosen a move to the Bundesliga.

But according to , all hope is not lost just yet, and Newcastle are still eyeing 🐈two ambitious signings.

Both West Ham’s Jarrod Bowen and Leeds United’s Crysencio Summerville are still being discussed by Newcastle’s recruitment team⭕, who recognise an opportunity to im♉prove.

Of course, it wo🀅uld take a truly remarka♉ble bid to prise Bowen away from West Ham, given the new contract he signed which extends to 2030.

West Ham believe that🉐 Bowen is worth at least £100m in today’s market,𒀰 and would probably demand a fee even bigger than the one received for Declan Rice almost a year ago.

Therefore, Sum♑merville, who Leeds could sell this summer after failing to earn promotion back to the Premier League, may be a more realistic option.

Minteh isn’t ready to play first team role for Howe

Of course, some Newcastle f🅺ans may be wondering why Minteh couldn’t have fulfilled his role himself🍸.

But aside from the ne🗹ed to sell a player to ease PSR concerns, Newcastle also felt that Minteh wasn’t ready for such a role just yet.

According to the same rꦅeport from The Athletic, once the club failed to qualify for 👍European football for the 2024-25 season they recognised that Minteh would have diminished opportunities going forward.

Minteh was seen a⛦s someone who could have thrived in the Europa Conference League, but perhaps isn’t ready for the Premier League.

That being said, Minteh was shocked when Newc🍸astle told him🐻 he would be sold this summer.
