|

A number 10

With Ayoze Perez not standing up to scratch this season, and Jonjo Shelvey continued involved in off-field mishaps, Newcastle United need a creative asset to help provide opportunities to their strikers and to improve their ratio in front of goal.

Fans are keen to see young Borussia Dortmund loanee Mikel Merino play in this role but it seems unlikely given the strength that he has shown in a more defensive set-up, so the Magpies will certainly look to dip into the market to bolster their squad.
