Sean Longstaff admits the Newcastle United squad are excited by the new additions of Miguel Almiron and Antonio Barreca.

With both players arriving on deadline day, neither started in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspur at Wembley.

However, they could feature from the start of Wednesday night's clash with Wolves. And Longstaff says the team are eager to see what they can do.

"Any new players that come in, you're excited to see what they're about, especially the pedigree they've both got," Longstaff said of Almiron and Barreca.

"I think everyone's excited to see what they can do. It's going to be tough, but they've got all the lads' support.

"I think it gives everyone a boost having new people around. As long as we keep working hard, we should be all right.

"With the new signings, the place is a little bit more upbeat. Everyone's looking up and we're going into some big, winnable games. As long as we listen to the staff and carry out their gameplan, we should be fine."
