The new season is already upon us, and Newcastle United have long since announced the signing of one of their top targets this summer.
However, there is a growing frustration in the club and among fans that Eddie Howe is yet to secure the attacking reinforcements he craves.
The Magpies' attempt to land Hugo Ekitike ended in failure for a second successive window, with the Reims wonderkid instead joining Paris Saint-Germain.
Howe has bemoaned the 'elevated prices' which Newcastle have often been quoted, and the head coach admits the club are working through a 'small pool' of targets.
