Newcastle United 'still looking' as Eddie Howe quizzed on final hours of transfer window

Eddie Howe has been asked about the final 48 hours of the summer transfer window - and is not refusing to rule out more transfers.

A thorough assessment on injuries in the aftermath of the Wolves game has taken place with Allan Saint-Maximin and Bruno Guimaraes not classed as long-term absences. Callum Wilson's return next month will also ease fears of any injury crisis.

When asked about further recruitment, Howe said: "I don't expect to be, we are very pleased with the business we have done. As I say the injuries we have we believe to be short-term.

"There might be a bit of short-term pain around the squad longer term when bodies are back we are very strong. "That's not to say we are totally closed off. We are obviously still looking but I don't expect any major business to be done."

Howe also confirmed that Northern Ireland international Jamal Lewis is staying at the club while he hinted some younger players may still depart.

Howe added: "Nothing other than we have discussed. Jamal Lewis will stay.

"Matty Longstaff will be one (to go). The slightly younger players there could be movement."
