Newcastle United has had a turbulent season in 2023/24. The team started their first Champions League journey in two decades with a stunning victory over Paris Saint Germain. This triumph gave hope to everyone associated with the club that they would finally end their long quest for a trophy. However, luck was not on their side as injuries plagued the team, making it impossible for them to compete in both the Champions League and Premier League. Consequently, Newcastle was eliminated from Europe and has since fallen in the English top-flight standings. Eddie Howe, the manager, can only hope that the club will consider this season a learning experience and come back stronger next year. Despite this setback, there is still a portion of the current season remaining. Thanks to a loophole in the Premier League regulations, Newcastle might have the opportunity to sign new players to help them regain their position in the top-flight. The Shields Gazette reports that with the sale of Javier Manquillo, the injury to Callum Wilson, and Sandro Tonali’s suspension until next season, the Magpies are two players short of filling their 25-man squad for the Premier League. Therefore, if the club can find suitable players, they would be allowed to join as free transfers until the end of this season. In theory, these signings could make all the difference in securing another European campaign for Newcastle.
