George Caulkin has just provided an interesting update on NUFC takeover
The delay in the Newcastle United takeover process is creating all sorts of confusion among a certain section of the fans. While the well-connected journalists at the club have done their best to reassure everyone that there’s nothing to worry about, not all fans are equally confident about the deal. A deal in the region of £300 million has been agreed between Mike Ashley and the Newcastle potential owners. The deal has been agreed, and the sum has been paid. The would-be new owners – Amanda Staveley’s consortium — comprising her company PCP Capital Partners (10 per cent), the billionaire Reuben brothers (10 per cent) and the 80 per cent majority stakeholding of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF) – have done their part, and are awaiting the official confirmation from the...
26-yr-old fancies Tottenham move, some of their fans react: ‘Great little player’, ‘Yesss’
Ryan Fraser has been linked with the likes of Arsenal and Tottenham this summer. The 26-year-old Bournemouth winger will be a free agent soon and he will be a man in demand when the window opens. Apparently, the player prefers to join Tottenham in the coming weeks. Fraser has done well in the Premier League for the Cherries and he seems ready to make a step up in his career. A move to Tottenham will allow him to fight for trophies and play at a higher level. Furthermore, Spurs could provide him with European football as well next season. Jose Mourinho has a limited budget this summer and a bargain like Fraser should be at the top of his transfer wish list. If Spurs manage to sign him on a free, it could prove to be a wise investment for them. They will be adding more creativity and depth t...
The Athletic: Newcastle have ‘extensively’ watched 23 y/o player in red-hot form
It will be interesting to see how Newcastle United approach the transfer window once their takeover is completed. The would-be new owners are wealthy, no doubt, and there have been claims that they are willing to invest around £200m on recruitment and infrastructure. At the same time, the global economy has drastically changed due to the coronavirus pandemic and football clubs all over the world will take a cautious approach in the transfer market. Irrespective of who will be in the managerial hot-seat next season (Steve Bruce or any new candidate), the Magpies need to sign a striker. The £40m investment on Brazilian striker Joelinton becomes more baffling by the day given his poor return this season, while the likes of Andy Carroll and Dwight Gayle have made negligible...
George Caulkin delivers four-word latest update on NUFC takeover
As we enter another week, Newcastle fans are hoping for an announcement and speculations are now causing anxiety and tension more than anything else.

‘Cracking player’, ‘Boy can play’ – Some Spurs fans are excited about reported 24-yr-old target
Southampton midfielder Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg has been linked with Tottenham in the recent weeks. According to Football London, the Londoners tried to sign the midfielder in January and they are likely to return for him when the window reopens.

The Saints will look to cash in if he doesn’t renew his contract and Spurs would be the ideal destination for him. The Londoners are in desperate need of a player like him. Hojbjerg will help Spurs control games better by recycling possession and helping out defensively. He also has the technical ability to beat the press and set up attacks from the deep. Given the type of direct attackers at Mourinho’s disposal, Hojbjerg’s skillset c...
Former England manager thinks Liverpool would be the ideal club for 41-goal star
Former England manager Fabio Capello has claimed that Liverpool would be the ideal club for Erling Haaland. The Norwegian has made quite the impression at Borussia Dortmund already and he is being tipped to move on to a bigger club in near future.

The towering centre forward has impressive pace, power and finishing already and he has all the tools to develop into a world class player.

Liverpool could do with a clinical presence like him. However, a summer move seems extremely unlikely. He joined Dortmund in Janua...

‘Spurs have good links with that agency’: Journalist makes transfer claim on £20m target
Irrespective of where Tottenham Hotspur finish this season, there’s no doubt that Jose Mourinho will be looking to make some changes to the current squad. Ideally, he would want Daniel Levy to hand a massive transfer kitty so that he can rebuild the squad to his own taste. However, the global economy has changed due to the Covid-19 pandemic and clubs will struggle to spend freely. Mourinho may have to operate on a low transfer budget and that is a big challenge for Spurs. One of the players they could be targeting in the summer is QPR’s attacking midfielder Eberechi Eze. In a Q/A session with Tottenham fans, reliable journalist Alasdair Gold has claimed that Spurs have scouted Eze during the season. They have a good relationship with the fellow London club and that could help in any p...

Manchester United are prepared to go head-to-head with Real Madrid in the race to sign Milan Skriniar from Inter Milan during this summer’s transfer window, a report from The Mirror claims. Skriniar has been an influential figure for the Nerazzurri in the central defence since his move from Sampdoria in 2017 but he has made nearly 100 appearances for them in the Serie A.

As per The Mirror, United are ready to step up their interest in signing the centre-back but they will face stiff competition from Los Blancos, who are eyeing a long-term replacement for Sergio Ramos. Manchester City and Barcelona are al...
