'A lot of players will have to come and go' - Given on recruitment

Former Newcastle United goalkeeper Shay Given says he would "look to strengthen" the Magpies' attack this summer. Given believes signings such as Nick Woltemade, Anthony Elanga and Yoane Wissa have not paid off for Eddie Howe. Speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live's Monday Night Club, he explained: "Woltemade is a different kind of striker, a nine, a 10, I don't know what he is if I'm brutally honest.

I don't know if he's suited to how Eddie Howe sets up his team, especially without the ball as much as with it. "Wissa hasn't worked. Even at the weekend he had a big chance and didn't take it.

Elanga looks like a different player as well. "I just felt last summer, no director of football, no CEO, a lot of missing links. I think Eddie's season has sort of taken the brunt of that.

I just think a lot of players will have to come and go this season to go again. " Watch the full episode on BBC iPlayer and listen on BBC Sounds [BBC] [BBC]
