9 goals & 6 assists last season: Rangers make approach to sign 25-yr-old from PL side
Rangers are looking to sign the Newcastle winger Jacob Murphy this summer. The 25-year-old winger was on loan at Sheffield Wednesday last season and he managed to impress for the Owls. He is not a key part of Steve Bruce’s first-team plans at Newcastle United and he will be allowed to leave on loan once again this summer. It will be interesting to see if Rangers can convince the 25-year-old to join them. According to Football Insider, the Scottish outfit have made an approach to sign him. It is still unclear whether Rangers are looking at the players a replacement for Ryan Kent. Kent has been linked with a move to Leeds United and the newly-promoted Premier League side recently submitted an offer for the former Liverpool winger as well. Murphy managed to score nine goals last season and he...
Allan Saint-Maximin’s one-word reaction as Jeff Hendrick joins Newcastle United
Newcastle United have completed the signing of former Burnley midfielder Jeff Hendrick, and the Republic of Ireland international is joining on a four-year deal. The 28-year-old was also reportedly wanted by AC Milan, but he has joined the Magpies on a free and will help boost their options in the middle of the park. Hendrick is Newcastle’s second arrival of the summer transfer window after goalkeeper Mark Gillespie arrived from Motherwell on a free transfer earlier in the transfer window. While he isn’t the type of marquee addition Magpies fans were dreaming of after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund were linked with a £300 million takeover, the Irishman brings Premier League quality and experience to the table having played 122 top-flight games for Burnley. It will be interesting to ...
Report: Newcastle weighing up summer move for £20m midfielder
According to reports from the Daily Mail, Newcastle and Southampton are keen to sign Weston McKennie in the summer transfer window. The Magpies find themselves in a strange situation ahead of the new season. The much anticipated Saudi-takeover hasn’t materialized which means the club is stuck with Mike Ashley as their owner. Ashley is an unpopular figure at Newcastle and there is a suggestion that he is emotionally detached from the club. He wants to sell the club at the earliest, but unless the Premier League gives a green signal for the takeover to go-ahead, he can’t do anything. The Magpies boss Steve Bruce has already added free agent Jeff Hendrick to his squad. But he knows that investment is needed at the club, and mere loan and bargain deals won’t be enough to add significant q...
Report: Celtic in pole position to land Newcastle target, 28-yr-old prefers Parkhead move
Celtic are in pole position to sign the Brighton defender Shane Duffy this summer. The 28-year-old is a target for Newcastle United and West Ham United as well but Football Insider claims that the defender prefers a move to Parkhead instead. The player has fallen down the pecking order at Brighton and a move to Celtic would be ideal for him. Recently, the Celtic manager confirmed that the club have made enquiries for the defender. It will be interesting to see if Neil Lennon side can secure an agreement with Brighton for the player in the coming weeks. Celtic need to add some power and presence to their defence this summer and Duffy would be a superb addition for them. The likes of Ajer and Jullien have struggled physically at times over the past year and they could use a strong presence l...
Report: Newcastle are keen on signing 24-yr-old Watford target this summer
Newcastle are interested in signing the PAOK left-back Dimitris Giannoulis. According to Sportime, the 24-year-old could be signed for a fee of around €5-6m and Watford are keen on the player as well. It is no secret that Newcastle need to sign a quality left-back this summer. They had Rose and Willems on loan last season and Bruce needs to find a permanent solution this summer. Giannoulis has done well for PAOK and he could prove to be a useful addition to the Newcastle defence. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can agree on a fee with his club now. The asking price seems very reasonable and a club with Newcastle’s resources should be able to afford it without any problems. They should look to move quickly in order to fend off the competition from Watford. The Hornets are a ...
Report: Newcastle United enter the race to sign 28-year-old Celtic target
According to Football Insider, Newcastle United have joined the likes of Celtic and West Ham United in the race to sign Brighton & Hove Albion defender Shane Duffy. The centre-back dropped down the pecking order at Brighton last season as the likes of Lewis Dunk and Adam Webster were favoured ahead of him by manager Graham Potter. With the return of Ben White after his temporary stint, it is reported that the Seagulls are prepared to accept Duffy’s departure and are willing to sanction an initial loan. Both Celtic and West Ham have been credited with an interest in the 28-year-old, but the Magpies have now joined the pursuit of the Republic of Ireland international. Steve Bruce is said to be keen on landing a new centre-back this summer and Duffy has emerged as the prime target due to ...
Report: NUFC suitors BN Group exposed for photoshopping Obama & other outrageous lies
The Singaporean consortium attempting to buy Newcastle United has been exposed by renowned news outlet Reuters for plenty of deceits. Bellagraph Nova Group have been linked with a Newcastle takeover, with reports claiming they have tabled a £280 million bid, provided a Letter of Intent and a Proof of Funds. BN Group moved in to buy the Magpies after Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund pulled out of a £300 million bid last month, but the club’s latest suitors have fooled everyone by claiming to know former U.S. President Barack Obama. A picture on the website of Bellagraph Nova Group – which has since been removed – showed owners Terence, Nelson Loh and Evangeline Shen sitting next to Obama, but it has emerged that it was doctored. The photoshopped photo was used in marketing materials to...
Report confirms Everton enquiry for 25-yr-old attacker, Newcastle keen on him as well
Everton are thought to have made an approach for the Napoli winger Hirving Lozano. As per Corriere Dello Sport (h/t HITC), the Toffees asked about Lozano during their negotiations with Napoli for Allan. However, the Italian side have turned down the approach. Apparently, they do not want to sell the Mexican winger this summer but a loan deal could be on the cards. Newcastle are keen on signing the player on loan and it will be interesting to see whether they can convince Napoli to let the player leave. Newcastle need to add some pace and goals to their side and Lozano would be a superb signing. The 25-year-old Mexican is a top-class talent but he has struggled to adapt to Italian football. A loan move to the Premier League could help him regain his form and confidence. The directness of th...
Sky Sports reporter confirms Newcastle are keen on signing 22-yr-old Spurs target
Newcastle are thought to be interested in signing the Arsenal defender Ainsley Maitland-Niles. The player has been linked with a move to Tottenham and Wolves as well and it will be interesting to see where he ends up this summer. #wwfc interested in Sevilla winger Lucas Ocampos, who knocked them out of Europa Lg. But Wolves could only afford him (and probably only pursue) if a big offer came in for Adama Traore. Would cost £40m. Wolves also keen on #afc Ainsley Maitland-Niles, as are #nufc and others. — Rob Dorsett (@RobDorsettSky) August 21, 2020 The 22-year-old can play as a full-back or as a winger and his versatility will be an added bonus for Steve Bruce’s side. Newcastle could use a right-sided full-back with some attacking qualities and Maitland-Niles would be a superb signing for t...
Newcastle close in on versatile ace, Sunderland legend reacts: ‘A good solid signing’
Newcastle are closing in on the signing of Jeff Hendrick on a free transfer. The 28-year-old midfielder could soon be announced as a Newcastle player and former Sunderland star Kevin Phillips thinks it could prove to be a superb signing for the Magpies. The Sunderland legend has worked with Hendrick before and he claims that the former Burnley ace will chip in with consistent performances week in week out. Speaking to Football Insider, Phillips said: “I know Jeff well, worked with him for two or three seasons at Derby. He’s a good lad, he’s gone on and developed well. That’s a good solid signing. You know what you’re going to get out of Jeff week in and week out. You’ll get an eight of 10 performance. He’ll chip in with the odd goal, and like I say, he’s a good lad as well. ...
‘Got to be fake news’ – Richard Keys mocks Newcastle-linked manager after report emerges
Life in China hasn’t been all that rosy for former Newcastle United manager Rafa Benitez. The Spaniard left the Magpies last summer to join Chinese Super League side Dalian Yifang, but the current campaign hasn’t gone well, with the side bottom of group A following five defeats in a row. Benitez’s side are yet to win a game since the new season began five months after it was scheduled to start, drawing twice. The Chinese top-flight league has been divided into two groups to prevent infections, but Dalian Yifang would still sit just one place off the bottom if they were combined. Benitez has only won just seven of 22 games since becoming the side’s manager last July, and beIN Sports man Richard Keys can’t help but mock the former Newcastle boss after hearing of his struggles: I don’t believ...

As for reports (via sportwitness), Newcastle are in talks with the German club to sign the midfielder and they believe that Bentaleb can be signed for a fee of around €6 million. It will be interesting to see if they can get the deal over the line this summer. Bentaleb made a decent contribution at Newcastle last year and he could develop into a useful player for Steve Bruce next season as well. For the price mentioned, he could prove to be a bargain for...
