Inset: Alexander Isak<\/p>\n
Newcastle United’s summer transfer business has turned the Magpies into a side capable of handling the rigours of the Champions League and domestic schedules, despite losing Alexander Isak to Liverpool.<\/p>\n
While much of the focus in August was focused on the Swede’s desire to move to Anfield, United <\/a>quiely went about their transfer business, bringing the likes of Malick Thiaw, Jacob Ramsey and Anthony Elanga to St James’ Park.<\/p>\n Isak’s<\/a> exit just before deadline day was finally given the green light as deals to sign Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa were sealed, and while it’s taken Eddie Howe’s side a little while to get into their stride, they have recorded two Champions League wins in their three games to date.<\/p>\n Saturday’s win over Fulham came on the back of the 3-0 success against Benfica, and former Stoke City boss Pulis feels the Magpies now have the strength in depth to deal with the challenges ahead.<\/p>\n Sky Sports discounted Premier League and EFL package<\/p>\n This article contains affiliate links, we will receive a commission on any sales we generate from it.

They have more cover in certain places.<\/p>\n \u201cEddie Howe’s very good at just calming everything down and keeping a low profile.<\/p>\n “They have a very, very good group of players there, and again, they’re going to have a good season.”<\/p>\n Pulis has been impressed with Nick Woltemade’s<\/a> contribution since his club record \u00a369m transfer for Stuttgart.<\/p>\n The German has already netted five times for Newcastle, with the Magpies striker also bringing out the best in his team-mates in recent weeks.<\/p>\n \u201cThe big fella up front is a throwback, but he plays with lots of enthusiasm and he’s scoring goals,” Pulis added. “He looks a little bit awkward at times, a little bit gangly and this, that and the other.<\/p>\n “But yeah, the supporters have taken to him and it looks as though it’s a cracking signing.\u201d<\/p>\n Newcastle United’s huge 2025-26 season is well under way and we’ll be with them every step of the way.
