Newcastle United have been steadily building a squad to rival the Premier League's top six teams.
In the summer, the Magpies made five new signings, with Harvey Barnes and young talent Yankuba Minteh being the only additions to their attacking department.
While Eddie Howe already has some quality wingers at St. James' Park, adding another one wouldn't hurt if they intend to compete on multiple fronts in January.
However, as the January transfer window approaches, renowned transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has given a hint about the position Howe might prioritize strengthening.
During a recent episode of CaughtOffside's The Debrief podcast, the Italian insider suggested that if Newcastle remain in European competitions, they could consider bolstering their attacking options.
“It will depend a lot on which competitions they play in January. If they will still be in the Champions League or maybe the Europa League, I think this will be very important to understand what they are going to do to help Eddie Howe.
“My feeling is that if they are still in the Champions League, there is a chance they will go into the market to do something on the offence positions.
“Let’s see if it is a striker or a winger as they still have to discuss it internally because they want the squad to be 100% focused on the current moment; and then, probably the end of November or beginning of December, to have their usual internal meeting with the board and manager to decide together on the targets.” Romano mentioned.
