Newcastle United have a long-standing reputation for spending heavily in the transfer market, and the club’s 25 most expensive signings provide the focus for this latest football quiz.
The challenge asks you to identify each player recruited by Newcastle United, with the year of the transfer and the fee provided as clues. You have 15 minutes to complete the list, making this a test not only of your knowledge of the club’s recent spending but also of its transfer history.
The Saudi Arabian takeover in October 2021 marked the beginning of another period of significant investment at Newcastle. Since then, the Magpies have been spending substantial sums as they attempt to establish themselves among the Premier League’s big six.
However, the quiz covers the club’s history rather than focusing only on the signings made since the takeover. That means even supporters who follow Newcastle closely may find it more difficult than expected to recall every player who appears among the 25 most expensive arrivals.
The task is designed to test memory of names, transfer years and fees, with no additional information given beyond those clues. Completing the full list within the time limit will require a detailed knowledge of Newcastle’s recruitment over the years.
And if you can name all 25 players, there is another challenge to try. Success in this quiz should mean you are also well placed to name everyone who has managed the Magpies since 1992.
Football fans who enjoy this type of challenge can visit the new Football Games home, where an archive of more than 1,000 quizzes is available. The games can be searched and played in full-screen mode.
Good luck, and don’t forget to tweet us your scores@planetfutebol.
