The January transfer window is now just a few days away from opening, with Newcastle United weighing up their options ahead of what will be a busy month. The Magpies have money to spend, but will not rush into any deals as they look to ensure their squad can cope with the challenges to come. United have injury issues at the back, but with Dan Burn, Kieran Trippier and Sven Botman expected to return next month, short-term deals won't be considered. With nine games in January and potentially another eight in February, it's a busy time. United have been linked with a number of young European stars and we'll bring you all the latest news and rumours right here and throughout January.
