‘Would be an unreal buy’ – Some Newcastle fans react after being linked with 22-yr-old PL attacker
Newcastle have been linked with a move for Todd Cantwell. The attacking midfielder has been one of Norwich’s bright sparks this season and he deserves to stay in the Premier League next season. Norwich will go down to the Championship this summer and the likes of Cantwell should look to move on. A move to Newcastle could be the ideal next step in his development. As per Daily Mail, Leicester City are keen on the player as well. Manchester City are thought to be long-term admirers of the player. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can convince him to join them. Cantwell needs to join a club where he can play regular first-team football. At City, he will have the likes of Sterling, Mahrez ahead of him in the pecking order. The 22-year-old has six goals in the Premier League this seaso...
Report: Tottenham and Newcastle linked with a move for £27m-rated midfield powerhouse
Leicester City are thought to be keen on signing the Roma defensive midfielder Amadou Diawara this summer. As per reports (h/t Leicester Mercury), Tottenham and Newcastle are keen on the player as well. Diawara is rated at £27m and it will be interesting to see if any of the Premier League clubs submit an offer for him when the transfer window opens. Tottenham and Newcastle could certainly use a player like Diawara next year. Mourinho needs to add defensive cover and presence to his midfield and the Roma ace would be ideal alongside Ndombele. As for Newcastle, they need a quality defensive midfielder as well and Diawara could be a good addition alongside Hayden and Shelvey. Leicester already have a quality defensive midfielder in Ndidi and it will be interesting to see how they accomm...
‘Atrocious’, ‘Terrible’ – Some Newcastle fans tear into 28-yr-old after his display against Spurs
Newcastle crashed to a 3-1 defeat against Tottenham in the Premier League earlier. Goals from Heung-Min Son and Harry Kane secured the three points for Jose Mourinho’s side. Matt Ritchie scored the only goal of the game for Newcastle. Steve Bruce’s side have now lost three league games in a row and they will be thoroughly disappointed with their performance against a struggling Tottenham side. Newcastle could have put the Londoners under pressure here but they were lacking in urgency and focus. The fans were not too happy with the performance from the players today and Fabian Schar, in particular, was quite mediocre for the Magpies. The 28-year-old Swiss defender has been poor in the recent games and his performance has attracted a lot of criticism once again. He was at fault for one of th...
Report: Newcastle and West Ham join the race to sign 25-yr-old Spaniard this summer
Newcastle and West Ham are reportedly keen on signing the Roma keeper Pau Lopez this summer. The Spaniard has done well in Serie A and he has been linked with a move to the Premier League now. As per Calciomercato (via Chronicle), Roma are open to selling the player for the right price. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle or West Ham submit an offer for the player in the coming weeks. It would be quite strange to see Newcastle splash out on Lopez when they have a quality keeper in Dubravka. The Newcastle star is one of the best in the league and they do not need to replace him just yet. Signing Lopez as a replacement seems unlikely as the Roma player would want to play regularly at this stage of his career. A move to West Ham would be understandable though. The Hammers need to repla...
‘Clueless’, ‘Lost for words’ – Some NUFC fans react to Bruce’s tactical decision involving 28-yr-old
Newcastle crashed to a 2-1 defeat against Watford in the Premier League yesterday. A Troy Deeney brace in the second half was enough to get the three points for the Hornets. Newcastle took the lead through Dwight Gayle in the first half but they failed to defend properly in the second half and were rightly punished. The Magpies are now 13th in the table with 43 points and their chances of breaking into the top half seem bleak. Steve Bruce’s decision to play Fabian Schar in the midfield has not gone down too well the fans either. The Newcastle manager revealed after the game that Schar was used in the middle of the park because of his physicality. However, the 28-year-old Swiss international struggled to make much of an impact. Schar has been in poor form all season and he hasn’t quite...
Philippe Coutinho will decide on his future after the Champions League
Barcelona midfielder Philippe Coutinho who is currently on loan at Bayern Münich could play against Barcelona in the quarter-finals of the Champions League if Barcelona manages to knockout Napoli, and if Bayern defeats Chelsea. Currently, Coutinho wants to just focus on the Champions League. If the forecasts come true, Barça and Bayern will face each other on the 14th. Until the Champions League finishes, the 28-year-old will not decide on his future. The only thing that is certain as it stands is that the Brazilian prioritizes a Premier League return. However, all the clubs that have shown interest in Coutinho (Chelsea, United, Newcastle, Tottenham, and Arsenal) are aware of Barça’s financial needs, so they will not rush a move until the last moment to sign him for a low fee. Barcelona ex...
‘Up there with the best’ – Pundit drools over 28-yr-old Newcastle star who’s ‘as good as there is’ in the PL
Pundit John Giles has urged Manchester City to sign Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle United. The 28-year-old has been impressive for Steve Bruce’s side this season and the former Leeds player thinks he could improve further if he plays alongside better players. Giles claims that Guardiola should sign Shelvey because the midfielder is up there with the best players and he is as good as anyone in the Premier League when he is on form. He said (quotes via Chronicle): “It would be a gamble, but if I was Guardiola, I’d be very tempted to go for him. “He has the skill, he can pick a pass, he can distribute it, he’s a well-gifted lad and he might be at an age now with the right manager, in the right team – he’d be as good as he’d promised to be years ago. “I think he’d be made for Guardiola because h...
Liverpool skipper out for the rest of the season
Jurgen Klopp has confirmed Liverpool captain Jordan Henderson is out for the rest of the season due to a knee injury. The England midfielder limped out of a 3-1 victory at Brighton and Hove Albion on Wednesday after damaging his left knee in a challenge with Yves Bissouma. At a Friday news conference, Klopp revealed Henderson will play no further part in the champions’ bid to break Manchester City’s record Premier League points tally of 100. The former Sunderland man will not require surgery, however, and his manager is optimistic he will be fit for the start of the 2020-21 season. Klopp said: “Best possible news. It’s a knee injury, but no surgery is required. “He will not play this season, but I’m positive he will start the new season. He’s a quick healer.” Klopp also revealed Dejan Lovr...
‘A top, top player’ – Graeme Souness raves about 23-yr-old PL star linked with Tottenham
Popular pundit Graeme Souness has heaped praise on the Newcastle winger Allan Saint-Maximin. The Frenchman has been in inspired form since the restart and he could guide Newcastle to a top-half finish if he continues to perform at this level. The Magpies are only three points behind 10th placed Burnley. Saint-Maximin has had a good season overall and Souness thinks he is a ‘top player’. The 23-year-old was recently hailed as the signing of the season by Newcastle manager Steve Bruce. Souness believes that the Newcastle star will only get better with time and no defender in the league will want to be up against in him in one-vs-one situations. He said (quotes via Chronicle): “He’s a top, top player. It’s easy to look at him and just talk about his dribbling when he gets one-on-one.&nbs...
‘Having the season of his life’ – Some Newcastle fans in awe of 28-yr-old’s display vs West Ham
Newcastle were held to a 2-2 draw at home to West Ham yesterday. Despite going behind twice in the game, Newcastle managed to fight back and get a point in the end. Michail Antonio gave the visitors a well-deserved lead four minutes into the game. But Miguel Almiron scored the leveller for the hosts on the 17th minute. Tomas Soucek got on the scoresheet once again to restore the Hammers’ advantage. However, the lead did not last long and Shelvey scored two minutes later to secure a 2-2 draw. The 28-year-old Newcastle midfielder put on an excellent display for his side and the fans were left impressed with his passing in particular. He was arguably the best player on the pitch against West Ham. Shelvey has always been a talented midfielder but consistency has been an issue for him. It will ...

Everton and Newcastle have been linked with a move for the Schalke midfielder Weston McKennie. We covered reports earlier today that the 21-year-old is a man in demand this summer. It will be interesting to see if the Toffees make their move for him in the coming weeks. They could use some depth in their midfield and McKennie could be a good addition for them. The versatile Bundesliga ace will add depth and quality to the side. He can play multiple roles and his arrival will give Ancelotti more options to work with. The 21-year-old can play as a defensive midfielder or a central midfielder. It will be interesting to see where he ends up this summer. Both Everton and Newcastle are capable of affording him.
