Eddie Howe has consistently demonstrated a remarkable ability to enhance the performance of players throughout his managerial career, and his time at Newcastle United has been no exception.
When Howe arrived at St James’ Park, the atmosphere had already improved following Mike Ashley’s sale of the club to a Saudi-led consortium, setting the stage for a new era. Since then, Newcastle has seen significant progress, including their return to Europe’s elite competition last season.
A key factor in this success has been Howe’s tactical brilliance and his skill in transforming players’ games, such as turning Joelinton from a striker into a midfielder and revitalizing Miguel Almiron.
However, as Newcastle gears up for a season without European football, they have made only a few signings so far, with the summer transfer window closing soon.
One player rumored to potentially join Newcastle and further develop under Howe’s guidance is Crystal Palace’s central defender, Marc Guehi. Reports indicate that Newcastle has made multiple bids for Guehi, but Crystal Palace has rejected them.
Guehi played a crucial role for England at Euro 2024, despite their loss to Spain in the final. Former footballer Michael Dawson has praised Guehi as “magnificent” and supports the idea of him moving to Newcastle, where he believes Howe could help him further improve.
Dawson expressed surprise that more clubs aren’t pursuing Guehi, noting that his arrival at Newcastle would be a significant boost for the team. He emphasized that Guehi would be a “great signing” and a valuable addition under Howe’s management.
With Gareth Southgate having stepped down as England manager after Euro 2024, there is now speculation about who might take over, with Harry Redknapp hinting at Howe’s potential involvement with the national team. Whether Guehi ends up at Newcastle or possibly even under Howe’s direction with England, his future remains a topic of interest.
