Rio Ferdinand tells Newcastle United to target three English players in January
Rio Ferdinand has told Newcastle United that they should sign young English players in January rather than targeting top players from abroad. The famous television pundit believes that the Magpies should try to sign the likes of Jesse Lingard, Raheem Sterling and Declan Rice in the next transfer window. The Tyneside club saw a £300 million takeover by a Saudi-led consortium last week, which means they now have the wealthiest owners in the Premier League.

Newcastle United Transfer News: Mauro Icardi and Kalidou Koulibaly identified as targets
Newcastle United are being linked with a host of new players since the £300 million Saudi-takeover and the latest name linked with a move to St James’s Park is that of the Paris Saint-Germain striker Mauro Icardi. The 28-year-old has had an underwhelming spell at the French club since his move from Inter Milan and he has been linked with a transfer away from the club recently. Icardi has scored just 36 goals in 72 appearances for the French outfit and he has struggled to replicate his prolific Inter Milan form in Paris. The Argentine international could certainly do with a fresh start and a move to the Premier League could be the ideal next step in his career. Newcastle United are in desperate need of a proven goal scorer who can help them climb up the table and Icardi could be a perfect f...
