Eddie Howe has reaffirmed his 100% commitment to Newcastle United, stating he remains focused on the club despite uncertainty surrounding the squad's future. The head coach emphasized that his priority is the team's success, even as speculation grows about potential player sales ahead of another busy transfer window.

Newcastle may be forced to sell key players like Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon if they miss out on Champions League qualification, having already sold Alexander Isak to Liverpool last summer. Howe acknowledged the challenges but insisted he has "no issues" working within the club's financial constraints, provided expectations remain realistic.

"I just need support," Howe stated, highlighting the importance of strong working relationships and the freedom to express his managerial style. The head coach stressed that Newcastle United always comes first in his decision-making, adding that he will prioritize the club's interests above his own. Newcastle face Crystal Palace on Sunday with Bruno Guimaraes sidelined due to a hamstring injury.
