The Magpies are yet to add to Eddie Howe‘s squad since their qualification for the Champions League.

However, Pope’s recent actions have suggested that the first signing could be further back down the pitch.
The goalkeeper has commented on an Instagram post by Burnley‘s James Trafford.
The Clarets star shared a clip from England on his story, and Pope sent him a message which fans believed he thought was private.
Pope wrote: “See you soon shagger.”
Fans spotted the gaffe on social media and were quick to comment.
One posted: “Nick Pope not realising comments on Instagram stories are public. Agent Pope.”
A second wrote: “This is going to be up there with some of the best NUFC memes.”

A third commented: “I don’t think Nick Pope has worked out dms yet.”
A fourth said: “Not sure Nick realised that was gonna be shown publicly.”
Another added: “Has Nick Pope just unintentionally confirmed a deal here?”
The Magpies have long been linked with the England Under-21 goalkeeper.
Should his switch from Turf Moor to St James’ Park go through, then he would be competing directly with Pope for the No.1 spot.
SunSport exclusively reported that Trafford will cost Newcastle £30million.
Trafford, 22, helped Burnley gain promotion to the Premier League last season.
He kept an impressive 29 clean sheets throughout the season as the team only conceded 16 times.
