Eddie Howe shares the update of the transfer of Alexander Isak in the middle of speculation on the future of Striker – and admits Newcastle to “take advantage” of the PSR concerns of the Premier League in the coming window

Eddie Howe says that Newcastle wants to dive on vulnerable competitors before the PSR deadline for this summer – just as the others took the cause of their financial problems last year.

It was in June that the club, faced with the prospect of a deduction of 10 points, considered selling Anthony Gordon in Liverpool to satisfy their PSR deficit.

In the end, Yankuba Minteh joined Brighton for 33 million pounds Sterling and Elliot Anderson moved to the Nottingham forest for 35 million pounds Sterling, but only with the emergency goalkeeper Odyseas Vlachodimos arriving at Tyneside for 20 million pounds Sterling. He only played 45 minutes this season.

Howe spoke about last summer’s difficulty and the desire to avoid a rehearsal of the race to sell players against their wishes.

But now, after three windows without adding a first team reader, Newcastle is ready to turn the tables. It is believed that Aston Villa and Bournemouth will have to sell stars before the deadline of June 30.

Howe said, “I clearly indicated last year that there were almost two transfer windows now. The PSR deadline plays a huge role for clubs – the two clubs with PSR problems and those without it, because those who do not have potentially seek to try to sign the players. They will seek to take advantage of other clubs, as the clubs have rightly so, rightly so.

“It is a really interesting dynamic, and which we are really aware and which we will try to use to our advantage if we can. I cannot go into the details of this, but we undoubtedly have people from the club who work very hard behind the scenes.

Howe would prefer that Newcastle have new arrivals in the building when the team will return for pre-season training in early July, with a goalkeeper, a central defender and a right winger on his list of wishes.

The failure to make an important company last summer was well publicized, in the middle of the tension between Howe and the new sports director Paul Mitchell. And the head coach says that the challenge is now to conclude offers.

“It’s great that the window opens on June 1,” he said. “The challenge is for us to sign the players in early June. But it doesn’t always work like that. I hope actually, but it rarely works like that.

“It becomes more and more difficult to sign good players. So I prefer to sign the right player rather than settle for someone and get them early, but let’s wait and see. It is very difficult to plan.

The perspective of stars’ names such as Alexander Isak is the subject of offers for elsewhere.

But Howe said, “We want to keep our best players. I think I did this very clear. It’s not just the wish of me. It is everyone’s wish to the club. I don’t have a crystal ball. I can’t sit here and say what’s going to happen. I cannot say that my determination, and it is to constitute a team, the best team possible – and to do this, you cannot always lose your best players.

He added: “He (Isak) is not for sale from my point of view. I want to build a team and I want the strongest team possible for next season. There is a lot to hope here, let’s hope it. The end of the season is crucial for us. I think we have a strong team and if we can add players for the first time in a few windows, it will make a massive and massive difference for us. This is what I focus on, not the opposite.
