With the January window now officially open, the rumour mill is well and truly in full swing.
A report by Luke Edwards of the Telegraph has emerged, and it lists Newcastle’s main January targets, as well as the players that may leave the club this month.
It is believed that stubborn owner Mike Ashley has provided the club with £15m to spend, and that he wants several unwanted players to be sold before any reinforcements are brought in.
The Telegraph say that the Magpies are targeting a number of British players, such as Charlie Austin, Andros Townsend and Patrick Bamford.
Experienced Hull City captain Michael Dawson could also be on his way to Tyneside, in what would be shock move considering United’s transfer policy.
Bordeaux midfielder Henri Saivet is attracting interest from Newcastle too, with the Magpies rivalling Southampton for his signature.
It is also stated by Edwards that Moussa Sissoko could leave for a Champions League club, and also that Ayoze Perez is attracting interest from all across England.
The likes of Mike Williamson, Yoan Gouffran and Sylvain Marveaux are all deemed surplus to requirements at the club.
Newcastle currently sit in a dangerous 18th position, with the gap between them and survival increasing each week that goes by.
If the Toon are to maintain their Premier League status, then they’ll need to spend serious money in this window.
