There is no going back for Newcastle United.

That is the unified message from a club that has just overseen one of the biggest summers of change in its history.

Future seasons may see fewer incomings, but the “buy young, sell high” strategy? That is here to stay for now.

In his first interview since the end of the transfer window, Newcastle sporting director Ross Wilson said he was “happy with where we’ve got to”.

“We’re not patting ourselves on the back,” he said.
