The Magpies had a difficult summer transfer window since they were unable to sign Marc Guehi of Crystal Palace, as the south London team turned down multiple bids.
Even a Deadline Day offer for Anthony Elanga, which Nottingham Forest also rejected, was insufficient to add a new first-team player to Newcastle because they arrived late to the game.

Trippier is believed to have informed Eddie Howe once more that he wishes to leave Newcastle in order to address personal issues off the field.
Bruno Guimaraes will now lead the team as captain, replacing Trippier, per Eddie Howe’s decision.
Trippier, a 33-year-old right-back, is not willing to settle for a smaller role on the bench after losing his starting spot to Southampton’s Tino Livramento last season, despite Howe’s desire to keep him.
Clubs in the Super Lig can still make transfers during this window. Although Galatasaray and Fenerbahce have already started talks with Trippier, we’ve been informed that Besiktas is the most advanced.
Prior to the Tottenham match, Howe stated: “Everything is going as normal; Tripps has trained exceptionally well this week.” “A lot of the stories that have surfaced have surprised me,” Howe remarked on Friday at a press briefing.
“[He is] an important team player. He has demonstrated excellent professionalism.”
Howe added: “His leadership skills, his ability with the ball, his assist record, everything he brings to the group we definitely want here.”
