The Magpies previously failed in an attempt to sign Hojbjerg from Tottenham for £30m.

We've already strengthened the squad, we wanted to have a clear stamp on the window as to what our identity looked like, we wanted to re-energise and refresh it and we can feel it now in a big way. "The new coach can feel it in a different way because he didn't work with the players we had before. "Of course we want to add more. The support of the guys is there as well. Matthias wants to assess what we have as well, which is obvious, he's been doing that for some time now so he's got a view on that already and we're aligned on what we want to do. "What we also don't want to do is make any mistakes by jumping to do something that we don't really want to do to tick a box. We're active in the market." New Newcastle boss Matthias Jaissle's first match in charge takes place on Saturday when the Magpies face Valencia at the Mestalla.
