‘Might be next week’ – George Caulkin delivers latest update on NUFC takeover
Newcastle United fans remain anxious as they anticipate news of the success of Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund’s £300 million takeover of the club.

Report: Newcastle and West Ham join the race for €50m-rated playmaker
Newcastle and West Ham are interested in signing the Ligue 1 midfielder Morgan Sanson this summer. The midfielder has been linked with a move to the Premier League for a while now. Sanson has done well for Marseille and he has the ability to improve a midtable club like Newcastle or West Ham. That said, the asking price could complicate any transfer for Sanson. As per Le 10 Sport (via Sportwitness), the French outfit will demand around €50m for Sanson. Apparently, Marseille have already turned down a €30m offer for the player in the last few months. Sanson is a good player but he is nowhere close to being a €50m player. It will be interesting to see if Marseille decide to lower their asking price in the coming weeks. Newcastle and West Ham have shown firm interest in the player but it is h...

As per Football Insider, they have already expressed their interest in the striker who is being looked at by Everton and Chelsea as well. 16-year-old is highly rated by Stoke City and it will be interesting to see if they sanction a move away this summer.

Sankoh will be hoping to follow a similar path to the first team if he joins the Scottish giants. Sankoh is yet to sign professional terms with Stoke and Celtic will be able to sign him for a nominal compensation fee. It will be intere...

Report: Bielsa looking to beat Italian side to signature of defensive powerhouse

Yohou has played for the Ligue 2 side since 2015 and once played for Ivory Coast under-20s. The 6ft 3in centre-back caught the eyes of Leeds’ scouts due to his physicality, maturity, technicality and ball-playing qualities, and the club are in conversations with the player’s representatives.

‘Rangers could catch them’ – Ex-Gers boss insists Celtic mustn’t be handed title
Former Rangers manager Ally McCoist wants the Scottish Premiership to complete its campaign, insisting that there is still a chance that Rangers could catch Celtic at the top of the table. With 13 points clear at the top of the table ahead of Rangers, the Parkhead outfit are favourites to land the title again, and a majority of the Scottish top flight clubs have already voted to end the season and declare them champions. Hoops fan Sir Rod Stewart has blasted Rangers for being “childish” after insisting that the campaign must be completed once it is safe to do so, claiming he would want Celtic to give the Light Blues the league if they were 13 points in front with only eight games to go. McCoist doesn’t agree with him, though, insisting the Old Firm duo both want the campaign to resume. “Th...
Report: Everton handed boost in their pursuit of €50m attacker as other suitors back out
Everton have been linked with the Napoli winger Hirving Lozano for a while now. According to Calciomercato (via Sportwitness), the Toffees are the only club after the Mexican right now. Napoli want to recoup most of the €50m they paid for Lozano and the other suitors like Sevilla think the transfer would cost them too much. If that is true, this is certainly a boost for Everton. If they are the only ones after Lozano, they will be able to force Napoli to lower their demands and negotiate a reasonable fee. Apparently, Carlo Ancelotti really wants to sign the player and that has kept Everton in the running despite the other parties backing out of the chase. Lozano is a top-quality attacker and if he can regain his confidence, he could make a big difference for Everton in the final third. The...

Midfielder claims Newcastle teammate could play for Barcelona if he was focused
Matt Ritchie has heaped praise on his Newcastle teammate Jonjo Shelvey. According to the 30-year-old versatile Newcastle star, Shelvey could play for the likes of Barcelona if he stays focused. As per Ritchie, the Newcastle central midfielder has exceptional ability and he could blow teams away if he played for the La Liga giants. However, Shelvey is a big fan of golf and he is often distracted because of that. He said (quotes via Chronicle): “I remember playing against him as a kid – I think he scored a hat-trick, he was unbelievable. “He’s got his moves – ending up at Newcastle. I say to him on regular occasions: ‘if you had your head screwed on you could play for Barcelona’. He’s that good. He’s got everything. “I’ve said to him so many times ‘if you just got head down and focused just ...
