Newcastle United Transfer News LIVE
Another busy period is coming up in front of Newcastle United with the January transfer window. The window opens on 1st January and though the Magpies will be keen to strengthen their squad, financial fair play regulations and the profit and sustainability rules of the Premier League will make things a little tricky for Eddie Howe and his transfer team at the club.
While the transfer options for Newcastle are somewhat restricted, Howe has stated that his main focus is on developing the players he currently has at his disposal, so player sales are likely to occur, especially with a number of stars possibly on the move should the right offers come in. This could, of course, free up space for new arrivals.
The Magpies are expected to be targeting an improved attacking option, especially with Callum Wilson out once again, while defence is still considered a priority after it was one over the summer. Now, as the transfer window countdown starts, key additions will be closely monitored for Newcastle United.
Man City Draw Opens Opportunity for Newcastle
In the Premier League, Manchester City's recent 1-1 draw against Everton has opened the door for Newcastle United to move ahead of the defending champions in the table. Bernardo Silva had given City the lead, but Iliman N'Diaye equalized for Everton, and a missed penalty by Erling Haaland compounded City's struggles. With just one win in their last 12 matches, this result means that Newcastle can leapfrog City with a win over Aston Villa today.
