What is the story with Newcastle United players and direct goal involvements this season?

Who is leading the way?

Who needs to be contributing more when it comes to direct goal involvements, scoring goals and/or laying them on for teammates?

I have gone through the stats on all four competitions that the Newcastle United players have been competing in.

Some interesting findings emerge.

Across the Premier League, Champions League, FA Cup and Carabao Cup, there are 20 different Newcastle United players who have so far, contributed at least one direct goal involvement.

Four are in double figures, whilst the other 16 include goalkeeper Nick Pope!

Direct goal involvements from Newcastle United players so far (up to 24 January 2026, ahead of NUFC v Villa), the total ahead of ahead player and then in brackets the breakdown between goals and assists:

14 Harvey Barnes (12G and 2A) 13 Anthony Gordon (9G and 4A) 13 Bruno Guimaraes (8G and 5A) 12 Nick Woltemade (9G and 3A) 6 Joelinton (5G and 1A) 6 Lewis Miley (3G and 3A) 5 Jacob Murphy (2G and 3A)
