The boy scored a goal only two goals He played for the club last season and is currently on loan at Real Betis, scoring six goals in 24 games for the club, which could help move away from Barcelona.

Alexander Isak is enjoying a fine season so far, but Howe only has Callum Wilson as backup should he get injured, suggesting that bringing in another forward could be a priority this month.

Barcelona are now willing to sell Roque, with Newcastle one of the teams showing keen interest in a deal.

Much will depend on the transfer fee, but if it’s within Howe’s budget, he should consider making an offer for the Brazilian.

James McCarty (Manchester City)

Howe could certainly get more out of McCarty than Guardiola has done this season, giving him a regular platform to shine in the Premier League and making a loan move a no-brainer.

The Magpies face plenty of competition considering how many clubs are chasing the 24-year-old. With the club having a chance of qualifying for next season’s Champions League, this could be the deciding factor for David at the end of the 2024/25 season.
