Newcastle transfer news
After a frustrating lull in the summer, the Magpies have a chance to improve their form further when the January transfer window opens later this week.
Newcastle still interested in signing Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewinbut they may have to wait until next summer to complete a deal to sign him on a free transfer.
Meanwhile, the Magpies are reportedly keen to secure the services of the Wolves star Matthews CunhaHe has been one of the team’s standout players in recent months. 25 years old and registered 14 goal contributions (10 goals and 4 assists) 18 years Premier League Starting this season, his influence has been highlighted.

Newcastle in pole position to sign ‘skilled’ ace
According to the latest update Offside, Newcastle in pole position to sign AC Milan centre-back Fikayo Tomori January.
The Englishman is “keen to return to the Premier League” and his future at his current club is now “in big doubt”. The Magpies have “currently shown the strongest interest in him” in a deal that could cost up to £31.5m.
Tomori has many benefits for Newcastle, not least that he would be a much cheaper centre-back option than Crystal Palace’s Marc Gay, who is likely to cost around twice as much as the player Milan want.
Perhaps the highest compliment you can pay the England international is Milan’s all-time greatness Franco Baresi I have spoken fondly of him in the past: He told the Mail exclusively: “He’s young and so far he’s done well whenever he’s been given the opportunity. He’s very technical and very physical. He’s still adapting to the Italian league and I think he can only Grow as a defender and help us.”
That Tomori has such a strong record speaks volumes about his ability and that this is a natural time for him to return to England, increasing his chances of returning to the national team under Thomas Tuchel.
At 27, the former Chelsea man is likely to be entering his prime and the idea of him playing alongside Sven Botman is an exciting proposition for Newcastle fans.
