Kieran Trippier is thought to be one of the top transfer priorities for the Magpies in the January window with a deal reportedly ‘very close’ according to TalkSport.

Fabrizio Romano, an Italian football Journalist who specialises in transfers and has over 6million twitter followers, has today tweeted that Newcastle are ‘seriously’ interested in the 31-year-old right-back who played under Eddie Howe in his time at Burnley back in 2011-2012.

 

 

Eddie Howe has refused to be drawn on speculation linking full-back Trippier with a move to Newcastle United, but with the incoming January transfer window on the horizon, Trippier’s name has come to the forefront this week.

Howe said: “I can’t give you promises at the moment. The people above me are looking and working on that. My focus is the team.

“There’s a lot of games coming up but we’ll wait and see. As I’ve many, many times, January is notoriously difficult to predict and to have a clear plan.”

He added:

“At this moment, it’s still virtually impossible because there are so many twists and turns to come.”

TalkSPORT reporter Alex Crook also tweeted on Wednesday morning: “#NUFC closing in on a deal for #ENG defender Kieran Trippier. More on @talkSPORT later.”

Atletico Madrid turned down Man Utd’s bid for Trippier of around £14m last summer but with the 31-year-old keen on a move back to his country of birth, Newcastle United seem extremely interested in bringing him to St James’ Park as their first signing under the new Saudi-led ownership.

Newcastle currently sit 19th in the Premier League and in desperate need of improvement at the back in their battle for survival.

They have the second worst defensive record this term and will need to bring in a number of reinforcements come January with Trippier is set to be the first signing under Howe.

Thoughts? Would you be happy with this signing? Who else would you like to see brought in?

The Players Newcastle United could/should sign from Saudi

Published

Newcastle United Saudi Arabia transfer ban

Newcastle United has received a green light to pursue players from the Saudi Pro League after a proposed Premier League vote to restrict loan moves between clubs with shared owners fell short of the required support. This decision opens up possibilities for Newcastle to strengthen their squad in January, targeting talents from clubs linked with Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund. Despite initial discussions to potentially bar such transfers, the recent vote outcome has cleared the way for Newcastle to explore signings.

 

See our video and reaction below and follow our YouTube for more local videos..

 

A recent meeting among the Premier League’s 20 clubs concluded without the necessary majority support to impose a ban on loan transfers between co-owned clubs. While 13 teams voted in favor of the prohibition, the requirement of 14 votes for approval was not met, granting Newcastle the liberty to pursue players from the Saudi Pro League.

This development particularly benefits Newcastle’s pursuit of Al Hilal midfielder Ruben Neves, whom they’ve eyed as a potential replacement for Sandro Tonali. Neves, despite significant interest from the Premier League, is expected to remain with Al Hilal during the upcoming January transfer window. The Athletic’s David Ornstein reports that despite ongoing speculation, Neves is content and settled at Al Hilal, playing a pivotal role within the team. His projected stay until the season’s end indicates his commitment to Al Hilal’s cause, especially crucial following Neymar’s injury.

Although ties between Newcastle and Al Hilal, sharing the same majority shareholder in Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund (PIF), sparked concerns about potential rule changes, as of now, no alterations have been enforced. Speculation regarding a Premier League vote to block such moves in the winter market hasn’t materialized into action. Consequently, Neves looks set to continue his journey with Al Hilal, with no reported negotiations or approaches from interested parties.

Al Hilal’s impressive position atop the Saudi Pro League standings, coupled with their progress in tournaments like the AFC Champions League and the King’s Cup, further solidifies Neves’ integral role within the team. Their dominance, evident in their substantial lead over second-place Al Nassr, underscores their strength even with the latter boasting talents like Cristiano Ronaldo.

Ultimately, Newcastle’s access to the Saudi Pro League remains unimpeded, potentially paving the way for significant acquisitions in the upcoming transfer window.

 

Al-Hilal

  • Ruben Neves
  • Sergej Milinkovic-Savic
  • Aleksandr Mitrovic

Al-Nassr

  • Seko Fofana
  • Marcelo Brozovic
  • Aymeric Laporte

Al-Ittihad

  • N’Golo Kante
  • Fabinho
  • Jota

Al-Ahly

  • Franck Kessie
  • Gabri Veiga
  • Riyad Mahrez

Everton Get Record 10 Point Deduction!

Published

on

Everton faced a significant setback as they incurred a 10-point deduction due to a breach of profit and sustainability regulations, marking the most substantial penalty in Premier League history. This plunge pushed Sean Dyche’s squad into the relegation zone, casting a shadow over their prior 14th position in the league, where they were holding an eight-point buffer from the bottom three.

This unprecedented deduction echoes only two prior instances in Premier League history. Middlesbrough faced a three-point penalty for failing to fulfill a fixture against Blackburn in 1996/97, while Portsmouth was stripped of nine points after entering administration in March 2010. Everton’s situation was referred to an Independent Commission by the Premier League in March over potential violations of profit and sustainability rules.

Amidst this, Everton voiced their intention to vigorously defend and strongly contest the charges before a hearing held last month. The specifics of the alleged breach have not been officially disclosed. However, insights from Sky Sports News suggest that the charges are linked to interest payments concerning the construction expenses for the club’s new stadium at Bramley Moore Dock.
