Newcastle’s Eddie Howe Aims to Strengthen Squad with Taller Players

Focus on Physical Attributes

Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has acknowledged that enhancing the physical characteristics of the team’s roster has become a priority during the transfer window.

Emphasizing Height in Recruitment

Howe expressed, “It is crucial for me to ensure that the players in essential positions possess adequate height. Failing to do so can lead to complications.”

He further elaborated, “While you might possess an exceptionally skilled player for a specific role, if you survey the squad and realize that the collective height is insufficient, it could lead to issues down the line.”

Ongoing Conversations Among Coaching Staff

Howe confirmed, “This is consistently a topic of discussion within our coaching team—assessing prospective players, their positions, and their physical profiles, especially their height.”
