Newcastle United has a history of acquiring players from Premier League rivals that have been relegated. Since Eddie Howe’s arrival at St. James’ Park, they have implemented this strategy frequently. Nick Pope,

Tino Livramento, and Harvey Barnes all joined Newcastle United after the club was relegated from the Premier League. This is a strategy that Newcastle United officials could implement once more in 2025. Despite the efforts of Liam Delap at the forefront, Ipswich Town are currently facing an insurmountable battle to prevent relegation.

The £20 million attacker’s performances in the top division suggest that he is destined for a departure from Portman Road, regardless of what happens to Ipswich. Liam Delap is being pursued by Newcastle United as the Champions League competition persists. Newcastle is considering Delap as they prepare to acquire a striker upon the commencement of the summer transfer window.

The Manchester City academy product would be a welcome addition to St James’ Park; however, Newcastle’s ability to secure a contract may be contingent upon Eddie Howe’s team’s season-ending performance. Newcastle United has been informed by Delap that his preference is to join a club in the Champions League, as reported by the i Paper.Similarly,

Dean Huijsen and Johan Bakayoko are characterised by the i Paper as the Magpies’ ‘ambitious’ transfer objectives for the upcoming summer. The Champions League is crucial for Newcastle United, even their victory in the Carabao Cup. All players aspire to participate in the Champions League. Delap is similarly situated, aspiring to conclude his inaugural Premier League season after netting 10 goals.

However, for that agreement to materialise, the Magpies may need to qualify for the Champions League. Qualification remains a possibility for Newcastle, with 10 matches remaining. Team Matches Played Wins Draws Losses Goal Difference Points 4 Chelsea: 29 matches, 14 wins, 7 draws, 8 losses, 16 goals conceded, 49 points, 5th position.

Manchester City 29 matches, 14 wins, 6 draws, 9 losses, 15 goals conceded, 48 points, 6th position. Newcastle: 28 matches, 14 wins, 5 draws, 9 losses, 9 goals, 47 points, 7th place. Brighton 29 12 11 6 6 47 8 Fulham 29 12 9 8 5 45 Newcastle’s summer will be determined by the European competition for which they qualify.

Should it be the Champions League, numerous opportunities will arise. The club will experience an increase in revenue, while sponsorship agreements will become more profitable. Superior players will be motivated to join, whereas Howe’s existing talents will be predisposed to remain.

Newcastle seeks to secure Alexander Isak’s signature on a new deal, contingent upon their qualification for the Champions League in the upcoming season. The young player has performed exceptionally for Ipswich, and he represents the type of striker Newcastle should pursue as Eddie Howe seeks to enhance the depth of his attacking options.
