Whether Rafael Benitez stays or not, Newcastle United need to approach the summer transfer window in a positive way.
One of the areas where the Magpies need to bolster this summer is the left-back department.
Paul Dummett remains the club’s only recognised left-back, but doubts remain on whether he is good enough at this level.
Matt Ritchie played on the left side of the defence in the second half of the campaign.
Antonio Barreca, who joined from Monaco on loan, failed to make an impact.
With this in mind, signing Kieran Gibbs from West Brom should be a top priority.
