Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has expressed confidence that both Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes will remain at St James' Park for the upcoming season amidst ongoing speculation about potential big-money transfers.
While Guimaraes has been linked with a move to Paris Saint-Germain and Isak is reportedly a target for Arsenal and Tottenham, Howe emphasized his expectation that they will stay with Newcastle, asserting that his plans are centered around having them in the squad.
Isak's remarkable form, with 24 goals in all competitions this season, has garnered him recognition, including nominations for the Premier League player of the year and young player of the year awards. Despite interest from other clubs, Howe affirmed his anticipation of Isak continuing with Newcastle, highlighting the club's initial aim to develop his talents and provide him with opportunities to showcase his abilities.
Regarding potential player sales to comply with Premier League profitability and sustainability rules, Howe cautioned against such a move, emphasizing the importance of retaining key players for the team's progress.
Newcastle's current sixth-place standing in the Premier League and the prospect of European qualification further underscore the significance of keeping their star players. With three games remaining in the season, including a match against Brighton, Howe stressed the team's commitment to building a successful squad without having to sell their best talents, which would set them back significantly.
