This was the season when Newcastle United were supposed to push for major trophies. They ended their trophy drought by winning the Carabao Cup last season.
But the way they performed, fans were expecting that they would be in a tittle race. However, Alexander Isak’s move to Liverpool has not made things easier for Eddie Howe.
Yes, the English boss did sign Nick Woltemade, and he is proving to be a prolific goal scorer. That is why Bayern Munich wanted to sign him in the summer. But Woltemade chose Newcastle.
Also, in the summer, Newcastle went for so many players. The likes of Bryan Mbeumo, Vikto Gyokeres, Hugo Ekitike, Benjamin Sesko, and so many other players rejected the Magpies.
That is why Eddie Howe needed backing in the summer with the right players. However, due to the lack of right signings, Newcastle United are now languishing in the bottom half of the table.
In 9 Premier League games, the Magpies have won 3, drawn 3, and lost 3. With 12 points, they are sitting in the 12th position. Eddie Howe needs to turn things around for the Magpies.
That is why he wants to bring back a player he once sold to Nottingham Forest. Yes, according to Florian Plettenberg, Newcastle United have registered their interest in signing Elliot Anderson.
However, Manchester United are also eyeing a move for the player. Forest are looking for a fee of around £100–120 million for the former Newcastle United midfielder.
Also, it is expected that if Manchester United and Newcastle United both put in bids, Elliot Anderson would choose the Red Devils over the Magpies.
