Newcastle United attacking midfielder Allan Saint-Maximin has been linked with Roma, with the Italians’ new manager Jose Mourinho an admirer of his style of play. The Frenchman is expected to attract more suitors this summer, but the Magpies are not looking to let their best player leave after just two seasons. Newcastle currently value Saint-Maximin at around £70 million, and that is likely to scare off Roma and other interested clubs. The 24-year-old ended 2020-21 with three goals and four assists in 25 Premier League games, but he brings more than his contributions in the final third to the table. The winger gets Newcastle fans off their seats with his pace and ability to beat his markers with ease, and it is not surprising to hear that Mourinho wants him. Saint-Maximin took to Instagra...
Newcastle United are thought to be interested in signing the Celtic midfielder Olivier Ntcham on a free transfer. The 25-year-old central midfielder has been on their radar for quite a while and they tried to sign him during the January transfer window as well. The Celtic midfielder moved to Marseille instead on a loan deal and it has been a torrid spell for him. Ntcham has a contract with Celtic until this summer and he will move on as a free agent. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can secure his services this time around. According to Football Insider, the Magpies are keen on signing multiple central midfielders who will add goals and creativity to the side and the 25-year-old Celtic midfielder is on their radar along with Arsenal’s Joe Willock. Willock has had an outstanding l...
Arsenal midfielder Joe Willock is returning to the London club following his loan spell at Newcastle United. The England youth international joined the Magpies in January, and he was in spectacular form to help the side to Premier League safety. Willock bagged eight goals in 14 league games, with seven of them coming on the bounce. The 21-year-old matched one of Alan Shearer’s records, becoming the first Newcastle player to find the back of the net in seven consecutive Premier League games since 1996. Willock had scored only once in 40 Premier League appearances for Arsenal, but he opened his Magpies account 16 minutes into his debut against Southampton. He did not score in his next six league games, but he found his goalscoring boots towards the business end of the campaign. Willock was o...
Newcastle United will be playing in the Premier League again next season after finishing the 2020-21 campaign in 12th place. The Magpies picked up 45 points, finishing 17 points above the relegation zone after an impressive run of form during the business end of the campaign. Fulham were tipped to beat Newcastle to survival earlier in the campaign, but the Craven Cottage outfit flattered to deceive and eventually finished in 18th place. The London club mocked the St. James’ Park outfit back in August 2016 following their drop to the Championship, sending this message to them on Twitter following a 1-0 loss in their opening game of the 2016-17 campaign in the second division.

Newcastle United travel to Fulham for their final Premier League game of the season, and the Magpies will be hoping to finish the season with a win. It has been a mediocre campaign for Steve Bruce, and the fans will be expecting a quality performance today. Fulham have already been relegated and have nothing to play for, but Scott Parker will want his team to finish the season on a high note. The Londoners have lost eight of their last 10 home games in the Premier League, and Newcastle will certainly fancy their chances of winning here. The Magpies were held to a 1-1 draw against Fulham earlier in the season, and they will look to make amends this time. Newcastle have quite a few injury issues, with Isaac Hayden, Jamaal Lascelles, Karl Darlow, Ryan Fraser and Callum Wilson all sidelin...
Newcastle United head coach Steve Bruce is not looking to quit this summer despite not being a fans’ favourite. The Magpies supporters are not keen on his style of play, and given the quality of some of the players they have, they believe the squad would be punching above their weight with an attacking manager in the dugout. Newcastle owner Mike Ashley has been linked with Burnley’s Sean Dyche, and Bruce should be looking over his shoulders following a report from The Sun. The tabloid claims that former Sheffield United manager Chris Wilder is willing to wait for a Premier League job as he thinks he has proved himself since taking the Blades to a top-ten finish in his first season in the top-flight. West Bromwich Albion want him to replace Sam Allardyce and help them return to the Premier ...
AS Roma incoming manager Jose Mourinho reportedly wants Newcastle United winger Allan Saint-Maximin this summer as he prepares to take Italy by storm following his unceremonious departure from Tottenham Hotspur. The Serie A outfit were keen on signing the Frenchman while he was at Saint-Etienne, and their new boss did confess to liking the Magpies star prior to his move to St. James’ Park in 2019 due to electric pace. Saint-Maximin is arguably Newcastle’s best player and they are not likely to cash in on him except a very juicy bid is tabled. According to Sportsmail, suitors would have to break the bank to have a chance of landing the 24-year-old as the SJP outfit value him at around £70 million. They want to shoo clubs off their prime sellable asset, and whether Roma or anybody would be k...
Newcastle United are looking to sign Queens Park Rangers defender Rob Dickie this summer. According to Football Insider, the 25-year-old is a long term target for the Magpies and the Premier League club are plotting a summer raid. Steve Bruce is a big admirer of the defender who has excelled for the London club in the Championship this season. QPR are desperate to keep hold of the centre-back, but a lucrative offer from the Premier League outfit may alter their stance. Dicke is likely to be tempted if Newcastle come calling, although QPR are unlikely to allow him to leave cheaply as he contracted to them until 2024. SL View: Signing a defender should be a priority for Bruce Newcastle have been vulnerable at the back this season, conceding 62 goals in 37 Premier League matches. Signing...
Newcastle United are prepared to sign Joe Willock permanently at the end of the season. The 21-year-old has been on loan from Arsenal, and he has made quite an impact since joining the Magpies. Willock recently became the youngest player to score in six consecutive Premier League games, and it is no surprise that Steve Bruce wants to secure his long term future. The midfielder has scored seven goals in 13 appearances for Newcastle this season. According to the Telegraph, the Magpies will submit an offer to the Gunners to turn Willock’s move into a permanent one and they are confident that the player is ready to leave the London club this summer. The report adds that Arsenal are also open to the idea of selling the England under-21 international to fund their own transfer moves. SL View: Id...
Dennis Bergkamp is the latest former player to be inducted into the Premier League Hall of Fame. The Dutchman joins ex-Arsenal team-mate Thierry Henry as well as Alan Shearer, Eric Cantona, Roy Keane and Frank Lampard in receiving the League’s highest individual honour. “It feels special to be part of a small group of players who got the recognition of playing in the strongest league in the world,” said Bergkamp. “I’m honoured.” His arrival at Arsenal in 1995 from Inter Milan was the catalyst for a transformation of the Premier League, the playmaker adding a new level of technical ability and skill that elevated the competition and attracted other stars from overseas. ‘THE PL MADE ME A BETTER PLAYER’ “I’m extremely proud if people say that I was one of the first foreign players who added s...
