BREAKING NEWS;Dubravka in initial agreement to leave Newcastle in January
Newcastle are gearing up for an early January transfer as a fresh report claims that one of Eddie Howe’s men is already in the final stages of agreeing a midseason exit.
Newcastle United transfer news
After struggling through the summer transfer window and ultimately failing to sign their no.1 target Marc Guehi, Newcastle are expected to be one of the quieter Premier League sides again in January. Speaking on the topic, Howe admitted signings were unlikely unless sales were made at St James’ Park, and quashed talk of any potential loan deals.
“The loan market is an easy one to chuck out there and go, ‘Let’s look at loans’ but the reality of those loans is very difficult”, he explained.
Howe added: “The issue with PSR and our position is that nothing is clearcut. Nothing is absolutely fixed; there will be lots of twists and turns in January. But we want to try and improve the squad.”
Several players seem set to leave the club, with both Kieran Trippier and Miguel Almiron having been linked with moves away and both having lost their spots in the Newcastle starting line up this season.
Callum Wilson could also be cashed in on, with his contract set to expire in the summer, while Sean Longstaff is in the same boat despite having emerged as a vital player for Howe in the early stages of the season. Now though, the club’s first exit could be set to take place.
