Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe has fended off claims that the Magpies will need to sell during the summer transfer window
00:07
and said that actually Newcastle are looking to strengthen their depth to compete on further fronts next season
00:14
when they could be in the Champions League as well as the domestic cups.
00:18
I never make those guarantees about any player and it's not to do with Alex's future but I'd be foolish to sit here and do anything like that.
00:26
We want to keep our strongest players, I've said that for ever since I've been sat in this seat,
00:30
we have to try and keep our best players and bring in more good players to make us even stronger
00:34
because the ambition of the club and everyone connected with the club is long-term success
00:38
and that's the only way to try and get that.
00:41
Yeah, I think it's difficult because as soon as we get one or two injuries we're stretched
00:45
and we've said that ever since I've been here and I think everyone's well aware that we are light.
00:52
We lost two first-team players in January and didn't replace them
00:55
and that's two players gone.
00:58
And then you lose Kieran and Joe like we have, Lewis Hall, you notice those players missing
01:04
and suddenly you do become, and Alex today, you do become stretched
01:07
and then you lose your firepower from the bench to a degree.
01:12
And Sunderland head coach Regis Labrides has made clear just how proud he is of his squad
01:18
following what has been a memorable season for Sunderland that could still end in promotion
01:23
back to the Premier League in the Championship play-off final
01:26
after several years away from the top division for the Black Cats.
01:29
I'm proud for the club, proud for the players because we worked so well this season
01:35
that it's good to go all the way and to live a different experience
01:41
and to have this opportunity to be promoted at the end.
01:45
So just like it's well deserved because they worked well.
01:49
We have talented players in the squad.
01:51
They are really well connected.
01:52
So we want to live this journey all the way.
01:59
It started probably with previous experiences
02:02
and now this ambition was really clear and sensitive during the season
02:09
so they deserve.
02:11
Now the question is to win the last game.
