Newcastle could lose up to five midfielders this summer, with Mohamed Diame already being released, Isaac Hayden wanting to move closer to his family in South Wales, Jack Colback being surplus to requirements, Sean Longstaff being linked with a move to Manchester United and Jonjo Shelvey having an uncertain future.
The Magpies need at least one replacement brought and may consider a return for Fabian Delph. Newcastle tried to sign the £80k-per-week Manchester City midfielder in 2017 but the deal fell through. They stand a good chance of procuring his signature this summer, however, as the 29-year-old is available for £15m.
