Newcastle United have been relatively active so far this summer, with three signings already through the door and one more potentially to follow, but the rebuilding job is not done yet. Steve McClaren, Ian Cathro et al have started the process of reshaping a club that had gone completely stale under Alan Pardew and then John Carver's management - but it will take time and more than just three players to sort out the mess that the Magpies found themselves in last season. Georginio Wijnaldum, Aleksandar Mitrovic and Chancel Mbemba are now safely through the door at St James' Park, with Ivan Toney looking likely to follow from Northampton Town in the coming days, but further signings still need to be made. Defenders - and most particularly centre-backs - remain of the utmost priority due to the fact Newcastle conceded 61 Premier League goals last season, while fans would also surely love to see a winger and another forward arrive in the coming days and weeks. With less then a month now left in the transfer window, Newcastle have now been linked with close to 120 players to far this summer. Here's every name linked to Newcastle United in the past week - and exactly how WhatCulture.com/NUFC reported the story at the time...
