Newcastle boss Eddie Howe will not make promises over January investment but says the team’s position at the bottom of the Premier League will be the only obstacle in attracting players.
Many are expecting the club’s Saudi-backed owners to invest heavily in the New Year in a bid to save their season, with the Magpies winless after 13 games and six points from safety.
But Howe has not yet had a conversation with the hierarchy about transfer budgets and does not want such talk to distract from this week’s home matches against relegation rivals Norwich and Burnley.
