Eddie Howe has warned Newcastle that they will need to keep him happy if he is to reject any approach from the FA for the England job.

The ex-Bournemouth boss has been widely cited as being among the candidates to succeed Gareth Southgate following his decision to leave his position following the Three Lions’ defeat in the final of Euro 2024.

Howe is yet to receive a ‘formal approach’ for the position, though he has admitted that he will remain with Newcastle ‘as long as he’s happy’. He told The Mirror: “"As long as I’m happy in the position that I’m in. As long as I feel supported by the football club and free to work in the way that I want to work, yes. That is the crucial thing.

"I absolutely want to stay but it has to be right for me and the football club. There’s absolutely no point in me saying I’m happy staying at Newcastle if the dynamic isn’t right. I’m certainly not serving Newcastle well if I do that.

“It’s been a difficult summer in various aspects, no one more important than the other, but as a new team coming together (off the pitch) we have to set our boundaries. We have to see if we can work together in a really fluid, dynamic way to the benefit of Newcastle.”
