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...

Chris Sutton and Frank McAvennie react to Celtic signing’s match winning goal
Celtic picked up a 1-0 win over Dundee United earlier today and Albian Ajeti came off the bench to score the winner for the Scottish giants. The striker joined from West Ham this summer and he will be delighted with the start he has made to his Celtic career. Neil Lennon seemed delighted on the touchline with the Swiss attacker’s impact as well. Ajeti was lacking in match fitness and Celtic decided to start with him on the bench. The Hoops struggled to create too many chances and they will be glad to have picked up the three points in the end. Celtic were firm favourites heading into the game but they were not at their best today. The Hoops will have to perform better if they want to retain their title this season.
