These strategic signings mark a significant shift after prior unsuccessful transfer attempts.

Newcastle have targeted hungry players of a similar age this summer as part of their rebuild.

The trio are all aged 20 and under and, following a series of knockbacks in the transfer market in the past year, it felt significant they were keen on making the move to St James' Park.
