With four victories, three draws, and three losses, the Magpies are now in 11th place in the league standings, only four points behind Nottingham Forest in third place and Chelsea in fourth, who are tied with Arsenal and Aston Villa.
They defeated Chelsea 2-0 in the League Cup and Arsenal 1-0 in the league, capping an incredible week.
and defeating them would close the gap between them and the top four even more.
Shearer identifies three positions for Newcastle to bolster
To increase their prospects of contending for Champions League slots, Shearer believes the team must make some acquisitions during the January transfer window.”I would most likely target a center-half, a center-forward, and a right-sided forward.”
“Those are the three key positions because I believe Newcastle is essentially covered in most other areas, particularly at full-back. I suppose—I would say that, of course—forwards are more crucial.
“Sporting Lisbon’s Viktor Gyokeres is hammering goals left, right, and centre.”
Ruben Amorim may be joining Manchester United, but he insists he won’t be bringing in any players from his old team in January. He is currently the greatest choice, and you must aim for the finest. You would have to ask, for sure.
Viktor Gyokeres has been on phenomenal goalscoring form
If the Magpies can sign Gyokeres, that would be a fantastic addition. If Alexander Isak were to depart due to his unclear future at the club, he would be the perfect replacement and would be available for about £63 million.
This season, the Sporting star has scored 23 goals and provided four assists in 17 games, including a hat-trick earlier this week against Manchester City in the Champions League. He has scored 66 goals and provided 19 assists in 67 outings for the Portuguese powerhouses. (Transfermarkt)
Newcastle may still greatly strengthen their team, but they will need to exercise caution in their investment to avoid violating the Premier League Profit and Sustainability Rules.
They were willing to shell out a lot of money to acquire Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi in the summer, but Palace turned down all four of their offers, the most recent of which was £65 million. This suggests that they have funds available for expenditure during the next window.
They have also been connected to other attackers recently, such as Jarrod Bowen of West Ham, with rumours indicating that the team is willing to make a bold move to sign him.
