Eddie Howe’s tenure at St. James’ Park has witnessed a remarkable transformation for the Magpies, positioning them as genuine contenders.
Since Eddie Howe’s appointment as the manager of Newcastle United, the Magpies have experienced a remarkable resurgence, emerging as genuine contenders in the English football landscape. Howe’s astute transfer strategies and meticulous approach to rebuilding the squad have brought about a significant transformation at St. James’ Park.
While Newcastle has yet to establish itself as an unstoppable force in the Premier League, the signs are pointing in that direction. The upcoming 2023/24 campaign will undoubtedly be a crucial litmus test, and the success of Howe’s further acquisitions will determine whether the club continues its upward trajectory or faces a reality check.
Among the potential targets that have emerged, one name stands out – Joao Felix, the gifted Atletico Madrid star. Reports from Chronicle Live suggest that the Portuguese talent, who spent the previous season on loan at Chelsea, could be available for another loan deal, with a price tag of a mere £11m for the Magpies.
Felix, often regarded as a luxury player, possesses the flair and skills that, if harnessed within the right team and under proper guidance – a factor sorely lacking during his time at Chelsea – could inflict significant damage on the opposition. Therefore, it would be imprudent for Howe to dismiss the possibility of securing Felix’s services outright.
