Newcastle United’s decision to sign Nick Pope for £10m was bemusing as Eddie Howe had Martin Dubravka as his first choice between the sticks this season, but Noel Whelan believes the 30-year-old will wear the proverbial No.1 jersey. Pope made 155 appearances in all competitions for Burnley before making the switch to St James’ Park, […]
Eddie Howe wants to sign a wide man this summer and was linked with Moussa Diaby in the past without a deal materialising. But Newcastle United’s pursuit of the 22-year-old has been given a boost as Bayer Leverkusen are closing in on his potential replacement. Die Werkself are closing in on a move for Manchester […]
Newcastle United don’t have a wide-man with more than five goals or five assists this season – Allan Saint-Maximin (35 PL apps, 5 goals, 5 assists), Ryan Fraser (27 PL apps, 2 goals, 3 assists), Jacob Murphy (33 PL apps, 1 goal, 2 assists), Miguel Almiron (30 PL apps, 1 goal, 0 assists) – so […]
Newcastle United are closing in on Sven Botman from LOSC Lille this summer and could pay €40m (£34.5m) for the 22-year-old, but Paddy Kenny predicts they will start considering more expensive signings after making sensible acquisitions. He told Football Insider: “There has been a lot of talk about a statement signing or a superstar signing. […]
Newcastle United recently paid £10m to sign Nick Pope from Burnley after Freddie Woodman left to join Preston North End and the 30-year-old is likely to push out Karl Darlow and challenge Martin Dubravka for a starting place next season, so Paddy Kenny hailed the North-East club for making a good acquisition. He told Football […]
Newcastle United turned Matt Targett’s loan move permanent last summer after he impressed during a short-term stint from Aston Villa and was hailed as a ‘solid’ defender by Paddy Kenny. The 26-year-old is expected to be a regular at left-back next season after his fine form in 2021/22. Kenny called Targett a ‘good player’ for […]
Newcastle United aren’t short of midfielders with Bruno Guimaraes, Joe Willock, Sean Longstaff, Jonjo Shelvey, but Isaac Hayden will need replacing after joining Norwich City on loan while Jeff Hendrick and Matty Longstaff could be moved on this summer, so there’s a void to fill. Eddie Howe wants a defensive-midfielder to protect the back four […]
Newcastle United’s pursuit of Hugo Ekitike has all but fallen through after the 20-year-old’s agent requested more money when a deal had previously been agreed, resulting in Paddy Kenny telling the Magpies to give up and turn their attentions elsewhere. Eddie Howe needs a striker ahead of next season as Joelinton (4), Chris Wood (2) […]
Newcastle United are on the hunt for a striker this summer as Chris Wood only managed two goals in 16 Premier League games, Joelinton netted just four times in 35 outings and Dwight Gayle failed to score at all, but Gabriel Agbonlahor doesn’t believe they should make a move for Dominic Calvert-Lewin. Callum Wilson scored […]
Allan Saint-Maximin is on the radar of Tottenham Hotspur and Chelsea this summer and is leveraging their interest to sign a new-and-improved contract at St James’ Park. The 25-year-old was Newcastle’s second-highest scorer (5) and their top assist-maker (5), so he’s still a key player for Eddie Howe. Saint-Maximin appears to recognise that and believes […]
Newcastle United have been linked with a host of players this summer as they have the finances to blow most sides out of the water, but the Magpies’ latest transfer target is the most unrealistic – Neymar. RMC Sport say the Paris Saint-Germain forward could be on his way out of the French capital after […]
Newcastle United were 12th in the Premier League for goals (44) and scored one or less times in 26 of their 38 games, so Eddie Howe could do with bolstering the attack. Stade Reims striker Hugo Ekitike was on their radar, but Fabrizio Romano says there are ‘negative feelings’ after negotiations stalled. The Magpies didn’t […]
