Newcastle United are interested in James Maddison this summer and had a bid of £35m rejected by Leicester City which could result in them turning their attentions elsewhere after the first attempt, but why did the Magpies lodge such a low bid for Maddison and expect to be successful? It’s easy to see why any […]
Eddie Howe has been working hard to sign a striker this summer, but Newcastle United haven’t managed to get a deal over the line for their preferred targets, so they may have to opt for lesser-fancied talent that won’t break the bank. Clubs want the Magpies to pay over-the-odds for players due to their lucrative […]
Matthew Bondswell looks to have a bright future at Newcastle United after impressing in pre-season. The 20-year-old has stiff competition at left-back with Matt Targett, Paul Dummett and Matt Ritchie all challenging for a starting place, but Bondswell put in some fine performances to earn the plaudits of Kieran Trippier and Alex McLeish. Bondswell joined […]
Miguel Almiron is coming off the back of a poor season at Newcastle United, scoring just one goal in 30 Premier League games, but he looks a new player this summer. The 28-year-old has scored six goals and made two assists in pre-season and has been tipped for a bright campaign by Paddy Kenny. He […]
Eddie Howe has recognised the need for wingers with a greater goal output after Ryan Fraser (27 PL apps, 2 goals, 3 assists), Jacob Murphy (33 PL apps, 1 goal, 2 assists) and Miguel Almiron (30 PL apps, 1 goal) contributed fewer combined goals and assists than Allan Saint-Maximin (35 PL apps, 5 goals, 5 […]
Newcastle United strengthen between the sticks with the signing of Nick Pope from Burnley and bolstered their defence with the signings of Matt Targett from Aston Villa and Sven Botman from LOSC Lille, but they haven’t brought in a midfielder after letting Isaac Hayden join Norwich City and Jeff Hendrick join Reading. Eddie Howe has […]
Allan Saint-Maximin has an uncertain future at Newcastle United with Eddie Howe reportedly keen to cash in on the 25-year-old amid interest from Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur, but Frank McAvennie believe he’ll end up staying. Saint-Maximin has been linked with a £40m move away from Newcastle after finishing as the club’s top assist-maker and second-best […]
Newcastle United welcome Nottingham Forest to St James’ Park for their opening Premier League game in just over a week and Eddie Howe doesn’t look likely to have a new striker signed in time, so he’ll have to stick with Callum Wilson, Chris Wood and Joelinton. The Magpies manager does still want a centre-forward before […]
Despite Allan Saint-Maximin finishing last season as Newcastle’s top assist-maker and second-best goalscorer, his future at St James’ Park is uncertain. The 25-year-old has spent three years at Newcastle but hasn’t scored more than five goals and hasn’t made more than five assists in one league season. Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea are interested in Saint-Maximin […]
Callum Wilson is likely to be first-choice in attack under Eddie Howe after top-scoring in his two seasons at Newcastle, but the 30-year-old’s injury history suggests backup will be needed as he’s missed 32 of out 76 Premier League games for the Magpies. Chris Wood was signed in January from Burnley, but the 30-year-old netted […]
Newcastle United spent £91.1m in January, signing Bruno Guimaraes from Olympique Lyonnais (£38m), Chris Wood from Burnley (£27m), Dan Burn from Brighton & Hove Albion (£13.5m) and Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid (£12.6m), but the Magpies didn’t make any money through sales. This summer, Newcastle have spent £59m on signing Sven Botman from Olympique Lyonnais […]
Newcastle United have made three signings this summer, bringing in Matt Targett from Aston Villa, Nick Pope from Burney and Sven Botman from LOSC Lille, but their fourth summer arrival was meant to be a striker. Eddie Howe needed a new centre-forward as Dwight Gayle was loaned out to Stoke City, Callum Wilson has missed […]
