Eddie Howe has been speaking to the media before Newcastle host Everton in the Premier League on Tuesday.

Here are the key lines from the Magpies boss:

  • The five new signings are all available for Tuesday's game, but Dan Burn has a slight toe issue.

  • On the transfer window, Howe said: "I think we have definitely ended the window stronger as a squad. We haven't destabilised the team which can be a dangerous thing".

  • Bruno Guimaraes will be assessed to decide how quickly he can be transitioned into the team but Howe thinks he will be "an outstanding player".

  • Howe said there is no issue with squad morale and the attitude of his players has been "first class".

  • Callum Wilson has made "slow progress" from his injury and isn't expected back in the short term having only just come off crutches.

  • On Everton, Howe said he fully respects Frank Lampard and said Newcastle will have to be at their very best to win.
