The Premier League season is almost upon us and Newcastle United are ready to make a statement. After a successful campaign last season, the Magpies are looking to build upon their success and make a serious push for European qualification. With some shrewd signings and an ambitious manager, Newcastle looks to be in good stead for the upcoming campaign.
Manager Rafa Benitez
Rafa Benitez has been at the helm of the Magpies since 2016 and has overseen a remarkable transformation of the club. From a relegation threatened club to a top-half side, Benitez has instilled a sense of ambition and belief into the team and fans alike. He is a tactically astute manager and has been able to get the best out of his players. He has also been able to use the transfer market to acquire some top talent, such as the likes of Salomon Rondon and Yoshinori Muto.
New Signings
This summer, Newcastle have been busy in the transfer market. They have managed to secure some exciting signings, such as the arrivals of Joelinton from Hoffenheim and Jetro Willems from Eintracht Frankfurt. Both players are expected to make an impact at St James' Park, with Joelinton being tipped for a big season.
The signings of Willems and Allan Saint-Maximin, who signed from OGC Nice, will add quality and depth to the squad. Both players have plenty of experience and can provide the team with an extra dimension going forward. Willems is a marauding left-back who loves to get forward and attack, while Saint-Maximin is a tricky winger who can unlock defences with his pace and trickery.
Ambitious Targets
Newcastle have set themselves ambitious targets for this season, with the primary focus being on European qualification. The club are aware that they have the quality to compete in the Premier League and are confident that they can achieve their goals. The Magpies have also been linked with other big-name signings, such as Arsenal's Lucas Perez and Roma's Diego Perotti, which could help them reach their targets.
The upcoming season promises to be an exciting one for Newcastle United. With a manager who knows what it takes to succeed in the Premier League and some impressive signings, the Magpies are well-placed to make a statement in the upcoming season. The team and the fans alike are eager to see what the season has in store and will be hoping to make a push for European qualification.
