Newcastle are thought to be keen on signing the Marseille youngster Ilyes Zouaoui. According to Daily Mail, the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Juventus are keen on the player as well.

‘Would be prepared to move’: Lee Ryder delivers verdict on £53m Newcastle target
Newcastle United could become one of the megarich clubs in England and in Europe if the proposed takeover goes through. A potential £300million buyout of the club, brokered by Amanda Staveley’s PCP Capital Partners but bankrolled by the Saudi Arabian Public Investment Fund, who will own 80% of the Magpies, is going through the Premier League’s Owners and Directors checks. With that, the anticipation grows about how Newcastle could fare in the transfer market. According to reports from The Athletic, Newcastle could spend in the region of £150m in the transfer market – and that’s a hell lot of money, considering how the economy has been severely impacted across the world.

With the Premier League set to resume on June 17, clubs in England have become busy in securing the contract extensions of the players they have signed on loans.

‘Newcastle are in the race’ – 18-goal star’s agent confirms transfer interest, Spurs keen as well
Victor Osimhen has been linked with a move to the Premier League recently. His agent has now confirmed that Tottenham and Newcastle are keen on the player. He also revealed a chat with Jose Mourinho. Apparently, Osimhen wants to play regularly and his agent has informed the Spurs boss that the Lille forward won’t be a backup for Harry Kane next season.

The 18-goal star’s agent said: “We told Mourinho that if he wants Victor, will Harry Kane be leaving? If Harry Kane still plays for Tottenham will Victor play? Because he will always be benched for him. “Kane is their number one striker and he is...
