Which position should the Magpies strengthen?

BBC Sport's chief football writer Phil McNulty has been answering your questions.

Andrew asked: With Sven Botman not too far from being back, is central defence still the priority for Newcastle in the January transfer window? Given PSR, I presume it is likely that only one position will be significantly strengthened?

Phil answered: I don't think Newcastle will be making a host of signings in January, but it will be interesting to see if they revisit the deal for Crystal Palace and England defender Marc Guehi, who they tried so hard to sign in the summer.

I think we have to be careful talking about Botman because, although he is such a fine player, he has had a couple of very serious injuries over the last couple of seasons. I would think Newcastle would want to ease him back very steadily.

My own view is that Newcastle should target quality cover for striker Alexander Isak, as we saw how they struggled for goals earlier this season when he was injured.
