West Ham keen on signing €32m-rated player, Tottenham admire him as well
West Ham United are interested in signing Lille defender Sven Botman. According to Sky Sports, Newcastle United, Crystal Palace, Tottenham Hotspur and Manchester City also admire the player. The 21-year-old is regarded as one of the most exciting defensive talents around Europe after helping Lille win the Ligue 1 title last season. He is open to moving to the Premier League and would be an excellent signing for several of his suitors, particularly West Ham. They need to bring in quality reinforcements, with the team set to embark on a Europa League campaign this season. They cannot hope to succeed in that competition without a strong defensive unit, and Botman looks to be an ideal fit. If the Hammers can sign him for a reasonable price this summer, Botman could prove to be an exceptional a...
Newcastle in pole position to sign 23-yr-old, player delighted by the club’s interest
Newcastle United are now in pole position to sign the Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe. The 23-year-old is expected to leave Old Trafford after the arrival of Raphael Varane from Real Madrid and the Chronicle are reporting that the player is delighted with the interest from the Magpies. Tuanzebe needs to play regular first-team football in order to fulfil his potential and a move to St James’ Park could provide him with the platform he needs right now. The defender made just 9 appearances in the Premier League last season. The player has worked with Steve Bruce in the past and he will be hoping to hold down a regular starting berth under his management. Newcastle will be hoping to improve on their performances from last season and they will have to tighten up at the back in order t...
Newcastle interested in 29-year-old Premier League star, Steve Bruce is an admirer – report
Newcastle United are one of the clubs interested in signing Manchester United defender Phil Jones on a free transfer, 90min reports. Jones did not make a single competitive appearance for the Red Devils last term as he was recovering following an operation for a knee injury. He still has two years left on his £100,000-a-week contract, but the club are eager to release him on a free transfer this summer. Magpies boss Steve Bruce is an admirer of the England international, and the club were linked with Jones’ services earlier last year. The Tyneside outfit would welcome the possibility of signing him for free, but United may have to pay off Jones for him to accept a pay cut. Aside from the Magpies, Everton, West Ham United, Crystal Palace and Burnley have also been credited with an inte...
Report: Wolves eye move for £12.8m midfielder, could face competition from Newcastle
Wolverhampton Wanderers and Crystal Palace are interested in signing Jens Cajuste, according to The Athletic. The 21-year-old midfielder is also being targeted by Newcastle United and Leeds United. The Magpies are looking to bolster their midfield this summer and have several targets, including Arsenal’s Joe Willock. The FC Midtjylland midfielder is also being watched. He is rated highly by Newcastle’s recruitment team, and the club have made their intentions clear. Last week, Expressen.se claimed that Newcastle and Leeds are prepared to bid for the exciting young midfielder. The Athletic claim that the Danish club want around €15 million (£12.8m) for the Sweden international. The Magpies are operating on a shoestring budget, and it looks highly unlikely they ...
Report: Newcastle keen to sign £96k-per-week box-to-box West Ham target
Newcastle United are interested in signing Ross Barkley, according to The Athletic. The Magpies have prioritised the signing of Joe Willock from Arsenal this summer. The 21-year-old impressed heavily on loan last season, and his ability to arrive late in the box and drive the ball forward would provide a different dimension in their attack. Newcastle are also monitoring several other midfielders, including Barkley. He joined Chelsea from Everton in 2018, but he has failed to replicate the form he showed during his time at Goodison Park. He bagged just 11 goals from 86 games for the Blues and spent last season on loan at Aston Villa. The 33-times capped England international struggled for consistency at Villa Park, and it seems he is not in Thomas Tuchel’s plans. The Blues want to offload h...
Report: PL rival ‘optimistic’ of signing 21-year-old Newcastle and Leeds target
Crystal Palace are optimistic about signing Conor Gallagher this summer, according to reports from The Sun. Patrick Vieira, the new Palace boss, is looking to make a raft of new signings to give his squad a fresh look, and he has earmarked the Chelsea midfielder as a potential target. Leeds United and Newcastle are also interested in signing Gallagher, but it seems Palace are optimistic about landing the 21-year-old. Earlier this week, The Athletic reported that Leeds have made an approach to sign the midfielder on loan. The Whites have already signed Lewis Bate from Chelsea, but Gallagher is expected to represent the senior squad. The report claimed that Gallagher has been tracked by Leeds ‘throughout the summer’, so expect the Whites to fight tooth and nail to beat Palace for his si...
Report: Bruce is a fan of 23 y/o winger…and Newcastle can sign him for £10m
Newcastle United have been offered the chance to sign Ademola Lookman, according to reports from The Chronicle. Lookman spent the last season on loan to Fulham from German club RB Leipzig. The 23-year-old winger scored four goals in 35 games for the club in all competitions, but couldn’t prevent the Cottagers from getting relegated. The former Everton winger, who was once seen as one of the brightest young talents in the country, failed to meet his high standards after switching to Germany permanently in 2019. The Bundesliga club are keen to get rid of him, and he has been offered to a host of Premier League clubs including Newcastle and Southampton. Sportslens View Lookman is rated at £10million. The report claims that Steve Bruce is a fan of the player but the Magpie...
Report: Newcastle hopeful of signing £30m player after PL club’s latest development
Newcastle United are hopeful that they can lure Joe Willock to St James’ Park this summer, according to reports from Sky Sports. After months of intense speculation, Emile Smith Rowe has penned a new deal at Arsenal, ending Aston Villa’s all hopes of landing him this summer. The Magpies are now hopeful that Smith Rowe’s new contract might accelerate their move for Willock. Steve Bruce, the Magpies boss, said he would “keep badgering away” over a player who impressed for Newcastle on loan last season. The 21-year-old was deemed well below Arsenal’s standards and was sent on loan to Newcastle in the second half of last season. After scoring seven goals in seven consecutive Premier League games – a brilliant achievement – Willock’s stock has risen. The seventh of those goa...
Newcastle show ‘serious interest’ in 23-year-old with 3.6 clearances per game last season – report
Newcastle United have shown a serious interest in signing Tottenham Hotspur centre-back Cameron Carter-Vickers this summer, 90min reports. The 23-year-old has entered the final year of his contract with the north London club, and he appears likely to move on in the quest for regular game time. The United States international made four cup appearances for Spurs in 2016/17, but he has since spent time on loan with six different clubs. He was recently with Bournemouth in the Championship. He managed 26 appearances for the south coast outfit, who made it to the play-off semi-finals. Carter-Vickers is attracting plenty of interest from Major League Soccer clubs, but he prefers to stay in Europe to continue his development. He believes that he has the best chance of making next year’s World Cup ...
Newcastle and Leeds are prepared to place a bid for highly rated 21-yr-old
Newcastle United continue to be linked with a move for Swedish midfielder Jens Cajuste. According to Expressen.se, Newcastle and Leeds United are prepared to bid for the 21-year-old. Cajuste had an impressive season with Midtjylland last year and received a call-up to the Sweden squad for the European Championships. The midfielder is highly rated by the Danish club, and they value him at around £12 million. Newcastle have Isaac Hayden as their main defensive midfielder and need to add more depth to the position. It is a similar story for Leeds, with Kalvin Phillips the undisputed number one in that role for the Yorkshire club. Marcelo Bielsa tried to use Robin Koch as a defensive midfielder last season, but he failed to replace Phillips properly and weakened Leeds defensivel...

Arsenal’s latest summer signing is bad news for 21 y/o liked by Newcastle United [Opinion]
Arsenal confirmed the signing of Sambi Lokonga on Monday, revealing he’s agreed a long-term contract with the Gunners, but the news of his arrival won’t be welcomed by everybody. One teammate who could be directly affected by Lokonga’s signing is Joe Willock, as the two play in the same position. Willock has struggled for first-team football in the last 12 months, but Mikel Arteta has the midfielder in his pre-season plans this summer, so things are unclear. The 21-year-old has made 78 appearances in all competitions since rising through the youth ranks to Arsenal’s first-team, scoring 11 goals with four assists. His last outing for the Gunners came in 2020, however, as he fell down the pecking order and was loaned out to Newcastle United. Willock impressed at St James’ Park and turned thi...

Newcastle United and Brentford are thought to be interested in signing the FC Midtjylland midfielder Jens Cajuste. The 21-year-old defensive midfielder is a target for French outfit Rennes as well but the Ligue 1 side will have to raise funds through sales before signing the player.
