Report names the four players Newcastle are looking to offload this summer

Newcastle United are gearing up for the upcoming transfer window, with plans to strengthen their squad while also offloading surplus players who don’t fit into the club’s long-term plans.

Recent reports suggest that the Tyneside-based club are preparing to part ways with four players during the summer, with Ryan Fraser emerging as the frontrunner on the list of potential departures.

Under Eddie Howe, Newcastle have experienced a significant upturn in fortunes, coinciding with the club’s takeover by a consortium led by Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund.

Last season, the Magpies secured qualification for the UEFA Champions League, marking a milestone achievement not seen since the 2002-03 campaign.

With promising successes in recent seasons, Newcastle are eager to further strengthen their squad for the upcoming campaign. This necessitates the departure of surplus players to make room for new signings, due to the Financial Fairplay rules.

According to GiveMeSport, among the players set to be on the departure list are Ryan Fraser, Isaac Hayden, Harrison Ashby, and Jamal Lewis.

These players have seen limited playing time for the club over the past couple of seasons, indicating their imminent departure from St James’ Park.

Currently out on loan, their absence from the squad has largely gone unnoticed, and they are all expected to depart at the end of the season.

As Newcastle prepare for a new era of growth and ambition, these departures signal a strategic reshaping of the squad in pursuit of continued success.
