Fabrizio Romano claims Newcastle failed with late approach for Arsenal striker

Published

on

It has been revealed, Newcastle United attempted to sign Arsenal striker Eddie Nketiah before the transfer deadline, but the Gunners declined.

According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Newcastle and Crystal Palace both made bids for Nketiah.

Arsenal, on the other hand, turned down those offers and decided to keep Nketiah at the Emirates Stadium past Monday’s deadline.

Nketiah is now free to Arsenal at the end of the season because he is in the final six months of his contract.

Arsenal may have been tempted to take the money for Nketiah while it was still available, but with the departure of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang to Barcelona on a free transfer and Folarin Balogun on loan to Middlesbrough.

Two strikers down, Arsenal were trying to get a new hitman snapped up in January but just couldn’t make it happen. If Nketiah had of left, Alexandre Lacazette would have been their only recognised striker.

Nketiah, on the other hand, may see this as an opportunity to impress in the final stages of the season and earn a big move.

Newcastle will undoubtedly monitor Nketiah’s situation between now and the end of the season, with compensation available if they remain in the Premier League.

Newcastle’s strikers moving forward would have strong depth with Callum Wilson, Chris Wood, and Nketiah, so you can understand their interest in the Arsenal man.

Raoul Moat Drama Coming Soon To ITV

Published

on

It looks set to be one of ITV’s biggest dramas this year and The Hunt for Raoul Moat is being brought to screen by the same people responsible for smash hit shows Line of Duty, Bodyguard and Vigil.

It was confirmed last April that production on the series had commenced, nearly 12 years after Moat gunman shot ex girlfriend Samantha Stobbart and her new boyfriend Christopher Brown, with Brown dying from his injuries. After fleeing Samantha’s home in Birtley, Moat, who had been released from prison just days earlier, went on the run, shooting on duty policeman PC David Rathband in the face as he sat in a patrol car on the outskirts of Newcastle and leaving him blind.

From there, Moat headed for Northumberland, forcing the quiet village of Rothbury into a lockdown as police launched a frantic search for him. The hunt for Moat reached its conclusion with a tense stand-off between the killer and the police on a riverbank, with Moat eventually shooting himself and dying from his injuries as he was rushed to Newcastle General Hospital.

ITV announced three parter The Hunt for Raoul Moat almost a year ago, as filming got underway in Yorkshire, with a cast including ex Bodyguard star Matt Stokoe as Moat and Inspector George Gently actor Lee Ingeleby as police chief Neil Adamson.

ITV have yet to officially announce an release date for The Hunt for Raoul Moat, but is expected to be form part of the channel’s spring programming.
