Newcastle United head coach Matthias Jaissle says the club are aligned on the need for adjustments to the squad in the final few weeks of the summer transfer window, as the Magpies look to improve on their 12th place finish in the 2025 Premier League table, with 49 points from 38 games.

What happened?

The club has lost key players like Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali, and Anthony Gordon, as well as former head coach Eddie Howe's departure.

Why it matters for Newcastle United

Jaissle has focused on bringing in young talent, including new signing Amar Dedic from Benfica, and has asked for time for them to adapt to the rigours of the Premier League, with four of the club's seven summer signings under the age of 21.

What comes next?

The Magpies will face a tough test against Liverpool on Super Sunday, with Jaissle looking to implement his philosophy and deliver a strong performance, despite being 36 points behind leaders Arsenal and having key players like Joelinton and Dan Burn currently sidelined, and with the team having scored 53 goals and conceded 55 so far this season.
