Hindered by illness and injury to players but still got tactics and selections badly wrong in key games. Unpopular with fans and was lucky not to be sacked during run of two wins in 22 games.

Newcastle United Premier League squad: Joelinton and Wilson retained; Carroll and Atsu say goodbye

All clubs must submit their respective lists by June 23

  • English
  • Arabic

The 20 Premier League clubs that took part in the 2020/21 season have submitted lists of players they will be retaining in their squads, and ones they will be releasing.

All clubs must submit their respective lists by June 23.

It is worth noting that player contracts typically will run until June 30, and therefore players who are soon to be out of contract are still on the 'retained' list at the time of publishing.

Next on the list is Newcastle United, who looked set for a relegation dogfight before a late-season surge saw them finish in 12th place.

The 12 Premier League goals of striker Callum Wilson were vital to their survival as were the efforts of on-loan Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock, who chipped in with eight – including a remarkable run of scoring in seven consecutive games.
