Eddie Howe sets Paul Mitchell transfer demand ahead of Newcastle’s pre-season trip to Japan
Newcastle United’s pre-season has now got underway as the Toon have jetted off to Germany for the first leg of their international tour.

The Magpies were forced to cash in on two of their young prospects in Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh in order to balance the books.
However, attention can now turn to 𒈔bolstering thei꧋r squad with quality additions on the back of a season where the Toon suffered heavily through injuries.
Paul Mitchell has now been appointed as the sporting director at St James’ Park and Eddie Howe has seemingly already set his man to work.
