Following their departure from the Champions League, this exit will drastically affect the money available for the forthcoming transfer window for Newcastle.
With Pope out for some time and Dubravka not hitting the heights they would have hoped, a free agent may be a good move for Eddie Howe's side.
As a result, they are still considering a move for former Man Utd goalkeeper David De Gea.
No contact has been made as yet, but Newcastle see the move as a viable transfer.
Fabrizio Romano has stated that Sir Jim Ratcliffe is focussed on board matters when he finally enters the Old Trafford doors.
Coming in as a sporting director, Ratcliffe knows he will be judged on his own performance and is not looking to replace the manager.
Results are important but the business mogul is focussed on that side of the club and not looking to continue the revolving-door of managers that Man Utd have seen since the departure of Sir Alex Ferguson.
It was thought the manager may receive a two-match ban for the incident.
However, the Arsenal manager has been cleared of wrongdoing and will face no further action.
After the game, Arteta said “I feel embarrassed. I have to now come in here and try to defend the club and please ask for help because it is an absolute disgrace that this goal is allowed.”
Ande Postecoglou has revealed that Tottenham are interested in signing a new centre-back despite Ben Davies' inspired performances.
He said: "I thought Ben Davies was outstanding. He's getting a run of games. We've got to be mindful he's not a centre-back and he's growing into that role.
"Ben is still adapting to it. He's done remarkably well. Centre-back is still a position, especially in our structure, where you need outstanding attributes and we've been very fortunate to have him that he's been able to adapt there.
"He's great at taking on information. He's been helped by having Romero back and Vic has taken on a leadership role back there as well.
"We need to sign another centre-back though because at the moment we're on tenterhooks in case something else happens there."
