Eddie Howe has warned his Newcastle players he is making daily assessments on whether they will be part of the club's plans beyond this season.
The head coach has got tough with his squad this week after admitting he was far from pleased with what he saw in their 5-1 defeat at Tottenham on Sunday, in which they conceded four times during a second-half collapse.
Newcastle are set for a busy summer in the transfer market, when the number of players leaving St James' Park is likely to exceed incomings given the Premier League's 25-man squad restriction.
