The summer transfer market may have closed a week ago but another is about to open, with Newcastle United’s fringe players primed for picking during the ‘emergency loan’ window.

As of Wednesday, Football League clubs are able to temporarily loan Premier League players for a minimum of 28 days, and a maximum of 93.

Here are the Newcastle players who could head out on emergency loans to Football League sides over the next few months:

The 31-year-old defender has failed to make a Premier League appearance so far this season - although he did start and score against Northampton Town in the Capital One Cup second round - and appears to be surplus to requirements.

Various Championship clubs, including Leeds United and Hull City, were linked with a move for Williamson over the summer so he could yet head out to the Football League temporarily.

Like Williamson, Lascelles has failed to break into the Magpies’ Premier League starting line-up ahead of Fabricio Coloccini, Chancel Mbemba or Steven Taylor.

Should Steve McClaren decide Lascelles needs additional Championship experience, the 21-year-old could find himself back at Nottingham Forest or another second-tier side.

Curtis Good

The perenially-injured Australian international defender is not a part of McClaren’s plans and, if he ever regains fitness, could head out temporarily.

Previous loan spells at Bradford City and Dundee United were unproductive due to the 22-year-old’s constant injury problems, but he could secure another move this season.

Kevin Mbabu

Signed from Servette in January 2013, Mbabu has never looked close to making a Premier League appearance for the Magpies.

The 20-year-old Swiss youth international also failed to play a game while on loan at Rangers earlier this year, but a Football League club may take a punt on him.

Lubomir Satka

Another defender who Newcastle one held high hopes for, 19-year-old Satka has looked lightweight on the rare occasions he has been included in the first-team squad.

The 6ft 2in defender has yet to gain experience out on loan, so Newcastle may decide this is the season to send him away temporarily.

Newcastle supporters are often bemused by Bigirimana’s fall from grace - during the 2012-13 season the Burundi-born midfielder looked like Cheick Tiote’s long-term successor, but now he doesn’t even get into the squad.

Another player who barely featured on loan at Rangers earlier this year, the 21-year-old is likely to be available for an emergency loan should he attract interest.

Like Williamson, Gouffran is not a part of the new regime’s first-team plans going forward and his only appearance was in the Capital One Cup.

The 29-year-old former France Under-21 international has been linked with a number of Championship sides, Hull City among them, and could depart on loan if he decides he wants to play regularly.

Ivan Toney

The ex-Northampton forward made his Magpies debut off the bench against his former side in the Capital One Cup Second Round and has largely featured for Newcastle’s Under-21s instead.

Though the current plan is to develop the 19-year-old on Tyneside this season, if a Championship side makes an enquiry then the Magpies may decide that Toney could gain valuable experience at a decent level.
