The transfer window slammed shut at 6pm on Tuesday, but Newcastle’s work in the transfer market is far from completion. According to the Northern Echo, the Magpies are still attempting to offload five players – on loan. Last season’s regulars Mike Williamson and Yoan Gouffran are among the names being linked with an exit from […]
Former England international Ashley Cole rejected a deadline day move to Newcastle United, despite being out of favour at AS Roma, according to Gazzetta dello Sport (quoted by the Express). The ex-Chelsea man arrived in Rome on a free transfer last summer, but has only made eleven league appearances since securing the move. Roma boss […]
Newcastle were heavily criticised in the media last week for being too ‘physical‘ following Mitrovic’s sending off, for a mistimed tackle on Francis Coquelin – just two weeks after Daryl Janmaat was red carded for late challenges on Swansea’s Jefferson Montero. While Janmaat was only suspended for one match (a difficult trip to Old Trafford), […]
Newcastle attempted to offload Senegal striker Papiss Cisse on Monday to Galatasaray, but the Turkish Giants balked at the £6 million asking price set by the Magpies, according to the Chronicle. The 29-year-old publicly voiced his concerns at the lack of playing time on Sunday evening and refused to rule out an exit from Newcastle […]
Newcastle rejected the chance to sign Senegalese defender Papy Djilobodji before the 26-year-old moved to Chelsea.

Newcastle and their bitter rivals Sunderland were among those […]
Olympique Lyonnais have officially announced the signing of French youngster Olivier Kemen from Newcastle for an undisclosed fee.

At 6pm tomorrow, the British transfer window slams shut and clubs can finally focus solely on football – for a few months at least.

Just a few days after reporting AS Monaco had made a €500,000 bid for Olivier Kemen, L’Equipe are now reporting that Olympique Lyonnais have joined the chase for the Frenchman’s signature. The 19-year-old has attracted attention from a number of clubs, including Tottenham and Liverpool, this summer, after his impressive performances at the under-19 European […]
Throughout the summer, Newcastle have been linked with new strikers to partner Aleksandar Mitrovic – from Charlie Austin to Benik Afobe. Should a new centre-forward arrive at St James’ Park, it would surely pave the way for Papiss Cisse to depart the club with Mitrovic and Ayoze Perez already ahead of him on the pecking […]
Newcastle rather controversially suffered their first home defeat off the season, at the hands of Arsenal, with plenty of the blame being shifted onto referee Andre Marriner – who brandished a red card to Aleksandar Mitrovic early on for a foul on Francis Coquelin.
