Newcastle United faces crucial transfer deadline amid exit uncertainties

As the January transfer window nears its close, Newcastle United finds itself in a precarious position with two key players, Miguel Almiron and Lloyd Kelly, departing without any new signings. Manager Eddie Howe has consistently stated that the club cannot afford new players, raising concerns among fans about the squad's depth and future prospects. The club's financial situation, influenced by the need to comply with profit and sustainability regulations, has limited their ability to strengthen the team, which has not made a significant signing since last summer. With the exit of Almiron, Newcastle now lacks a natural senior right winger, putting additional pressure on Jacob Murphy, who has been in good form but lacks support. Despite the current constraints, Howe has indicated that the club will target a right winger in the summer. The ongoing lack of transfer activity raises questions about Newcastle's ability to remain competitive in the league.
