Last with only seven points, Newcastle will have to fight to stay in the Premier League. Recently arriving on the Magpies bench, Eddie Howe sounded the alarm bells at a press conference on Tuesday. If the English club hoped to strengthen next January during the winter transfer window, it must face many obstacles.
Among them is the new rule prohibiting Premier League sides from sealing trade deals with companies linked to their owners, which could seriously thwart Newcastle's plans. Optajoe says the Magpies are the fourth team in Premier League history not to win a game in the first 14 matches. Only Swindon (1993-1994), QPR (2012-2013) and Sheffiled United (2020-2021) had achieved the same performance, which each time ended in relegation.
