They say don't get too excited about pre-season friendlies but that is easier said than done when you're a Newcastle United fan. Friday's friendly with 1860 Munich gave fans their first glimpse of new signings Sven Botman and Nick Pope in Austria.
Newcastle United strolled to a comfortable victory at the Saalfelden Arena as they swept 1860 Munich aside. True, the Magpies survived a couple of first half scares and could have been behind at the break but the quality shone through after the break as goals from Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff and Bruno Guimaraes earned a good pre-season win.
Matty Longstaff already had an uncertain future at Newcastle United this summer after falling down the pecking order last season and being loaned out to a League Two side, but it appears the 22-year-old will be on his way out of St James’ Park at the earliest opportunity.
Isaac Hayden left Newcastle United to join Norwich City on a season-long loan, but Eddie Howe isn’t short of midfielders in his absence – the Magpies boss still has Bruno Guimaraes, Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff, Jonjo Shelvey and Joelinton on the books.
Following their play-off semi-final heartbreak in May, Darren Moore and his Sheffield Wednesday will be looking to go step further this upcoming season and achieve promotion back to the Championship. The Owls have already commenced their recruitment process, bringing in Will Vaulks, David Stockdale, Ben Heneghan, Michael Smith and Michael Iheikwe to Hillsborough.
Newcastle United have had a frustrating start to the transfer window as clubs appear to slap a “Magpie tax” on players when the newly-crowned richest club in the world come calling. Moves for Sven Botman and Hugo Ekitike have stuttered, with the former understood to be holding out for a move to European giants AC Milan.
