Newcastle United faces limitations on summer spending due to missing out on European football. While the club aims to enhance its squad, financial constraints emphasize the importance of player trades, particularly with Anthony Gordon. Recent transactions, including the £18.5 million signing of goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen, suggest a shift toward acquiring players in the £20 million to £35 million range. The club's internal spending guidelines permit spending up to 70% of revenue, although a significant outlay like last summer's £241 million is unlikely. Continued evaluation of player positions indicates potential targets may be more affordable and versatile.

- •Ewen Jaouen becomes the first signing of the summer at £18.5 million.

"Ewan asked: How much can Newcastle realistically spend on new players? Ciaran answered: There was a time when clubs had set figures at the start of windows and this was a much more straightforward question to answer. This is why the trading of players like Anthony Gordon is going to be so important to boost headroom, particularly after Newcastle missed out on the riches of the Champions League and, indeed, any European football whatsoever.
