Eddie Howe has some big transfer decisions to make for Newcastle United this summer.
The threat of Financial Fair Play still looms large, and whilst everything appears to be quiet at the moment, there could still be the need for the Magpies to sell at least one of their big stars.

Lloyd Kelly has already been secured by the club, and according to HITC football insider, Graeme Bailey, speaking to Geordie Boot Boys, they’re after another centre-back to shore up their back line.
The player in question, Bayern Munich’s Matthijs De Ligt, who earns a staggering £265k per week according to Capology, has apparently already been offered to the Magpies, Liverpool and Arsenal through intermediaries.
