Done deal: Journalist claims Newcastle have secured deal for 24 y/o Leeds target
According to reliable journalist and transfer expert, Nicolo Schira, Newcastle have secured a deal to sign Rob Holding from Arsenal this summer. Without big investment in the side following a failed takeover bid, the Magpies are relying mainly on loan deals and free transfers. In this case, they have secured a loan deal for the Arsenal defender who has become surplus to requirements at the London club. Schira claims that the deal will be completed and made official once Arsenal confirm the signing of Gabriel from Lille. Done deal! Rob #Holding to #Newcastle from #Arsenal on loan.

Report: Newcastle make enquiry for versatile PL player who will cost £25m
Newcastle are looking to sign the Arsenal defender Ainsley Maitland-Niles this summer. According to the Telegraph, the Magpies have made an enquiry for the 23-year-old and it will be interesting to see if they follow up on the interest with a concrete offer now. The versatile fullback is valued at £25 million and Wolves have recently had a £15 million offer turned down for the player. It remains to be seen whether Newcastle are willing to match Arsenal’s demands for Maitland-Niles. The report adds that Newcastle have been put off by the asking price and it seems that the Gunners will have to lower their demands in order for the move to go through. Maitland-Niles is not a key member of Arteta’s first-team squad and he needs to leave the club in order to play regular first-team football. A m...
Report: Newcastle have submitted a £13.3 million bid for 15-goal attacker
Newcastle are looking to improve their attacking options before the new Premier League season begins and they have identified Moussa Marega as a target. The experienced Porto striker has done well over the last few years and he has shown his quality in the European competitions as well. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can agree on a fee with the Portuguese giants for Marega. According to reports (via Mark Douglas from Chronicle), the Premier League side have submitted a €15 million (£13.3 million) offer for the striker but Porto are holding out for a fee of €20 million. It remains to be seen whether the two clubs can reach a compromise over the fee now. Newcastle must look to upgrade on Joelinton and Carroll this summer and Marega should prove to be a wise addition. The reported...
Report: A formal offer from Newcastle expected to arrive for 24y/o this week
According to The Athletic’s Chris Waugh, sources close to PAOK defender Dimitris Giannoulis expect a formal offer to arrive from Newcastle United this week. The Magpies have made contact with the Greek outfit and the player’s representatives more than two weeks ago, but an official bid is yet to be lodged. Newcastle have around £30 million to spend this summer as head coach Steve Bruce looks to make necessary squad changes ahead of 2020-21, and landing a left-back is top of the agenda as Paul Dummett is the only natural left-back in the squad. While PAOK appear to have raised their asking price for Giannoulis following victory over Besiktas in Tuesday’s Champions League second qualifying round, their financial problems mean they are likely to accept around £5 million for the 24-year-old, a...
Report: Netherlands international wants to join Newcastle United over any other club
According to The Athletic’s Chris Waugh, Netherlands international left-back Jetro Willems would opt for Newcastle United over any other club if the opportunity arose. The 26-year-old spent the first half of last season on loan at St James’ Park before a cruciate ligament injury cut short his campaign in January. Willems returned to his parent club Eintracht Frankfurt afterwards for his rehabilitation and recovery, and has since gained full fitness. He has continuously expressed his wish to return to Newcastle, but the club are yet to make a move. Magpies boss Steve Bruce brought in Danny Rose from Tottenham Hotspur on loan for the rest of the campaign, and the England international has since returned to North London. A left-back is on Newcastle’s radar and they have already been...
Report: Huge injury blow has forced Newcastle make move to sign 26y/o
According to Sportime.gr, Newcastle United have enquired about Benfica goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos as they seek to bring in a cover for the injured Martin Dubravka. The Slovakian international is out for around six to eight weeks after injuring his heel, and it appears that the Magpies are looking to bring in another goalie despite having Karl Darlow and Mark Gillespie as back-ups. Vlachodimos isn’t a new name to Newcastle as he was recently on their radar as a long-term replacement for Dubravka, but the Portuguese club are demanding too much for the Greek international and the Magpies aren’t expected to make a bid or return to make further enquiries. The 26-year-old, who has a £54 million buyout clause, is also on the radars of Sheffield United and Hertha Berlin, but he isn’t in a rus...

Pirlo, who replaced Maurizio Sarri, said that he will allow the former Real Madrid striker to leave this summer.

Now, according to reports from Corriere dello Sport (h/t Sport Witness), Premier League clubs Fulham and Newcastle are keen to sign the former Napoli striker. Higuain joined Juventus from Napoli in 2016 and has managed 66 goals in 148 games for the Old Lady in three seasons. Last season, he scored 11 goals in 43 games in all competitions. There h...

According to Daily Mail’s Craig Hope, Newcastle United have a 30% sell-on clause on Peterborough striker Ivan Toney, and are set to land around £3 million if he joins English Championship side Brentford for £10 million this summer.

Report: Newcastle have made an approach to sign £18m Tottenham target
Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce has admitted that he is looking to make a few signings before the start of the new season. However, with the takeover saga taking a backseat, it is still unknown whether Mike Ashley will at all give Bruce a handsome transfer kitty to bring in the players of his choice. Nevertheless, the Magpies are keeping their options open. Bolstering the defence is one of Bruce’s top priorities this summer, and the Magpies have earmarked Chilean defender Guillermo Maripan for that role. According to reports from CDF, the Magpies are ready to make a move for Maripan who is available to buy for a fee in the region of €20 million (£18m) this summer. In fact, they have made an approach to Monaco for a potential deal. Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur were also in...
Report: Newcastle United join Leeds United in the race to sign 24-year-old centre-back
Newcastle United are prepared to compete with Leeds United for the signature of Arsenal defender Rob Holding, a report from The Daily Mail claims. The Gunners are currently on the verge of landing Gabriel Magalhaes from Lille in a deal worth £27m and that could pave the way for the departure of at least one centre-back. Holding has been with the north London side since the summer of 2016, but he has been unable to cement a regular starting role under different managers. Of course, a serious knee injury contributed to his absence between December 2018 and August 2019, but on his return, he has faced the fierce competition for places. It is now reported that the Gunners are open to offers for the former Bolton Wanderers graduate with their imminent signing of Gabriel. Magpies boss Steve...
