Transfer latest: Newcastle odds on to sign Brazil star
Brazil international and Lyon midfielder Lucas Paquetá is among the stars linked to Newcastle United this summer, with SkyBet listing the transfer as odds on to go through before deadline day.
Newcastle are already well underway with their summer transfer business and an array of big are names linked. The club are also close to signing Hugo Ekitike for a reported £26 million. The Reims striker may have some exciting company joining him.
Lucas Paquetá is one name which has been heavily attached with the club and SkyBet have him at the promising odds of 4/9 to join Newcastle United. Rumours about Lyon’s talented attacking midfielder have been the talk of the Toon recently, and according to the betting company they are not unfounded.
It’s odds on the Brazil international will be joining his compatriots Joelinton and Bruno Guimarães in a stellar South American midfield next season. He is said to have a close relationship with Guimarães which could tempt him to Tyneside. A high price reported at up to £58 million could deter Eddie Howe and co. in their pursuit, but the 24-year-old is an exciting prospect all the same.
In the Premier League, Newcastle could also look at a number of options with established credentials.
Manchester United’s second choice keeper Dean Henderson is one option who looks likely to be competing with Martin Dúbravka next season but more speculative options from the league are also possible. James Ward-Prowse, after a fantastic season with Southampton, is at 7/4 to join the Magpies according to SkyBet. The set-piece specialist could bring an extra threat to Newcastle’s attack as well as bolstering the midfield.
Ivan Toney, who scored twelve league goals for Brentford last season, is one possibility at 3/1. Despite outside odds, this proven goalscorer could provide competition for Callum Wilson and Chris Wood. If Newcastle secure the signing of Hugo Ekitike from Reims Toney would likely drop down the Newcastle’s wish-list.
Other less likely Premier League names include Leeds winger Jack Harrison at 4/1, England’s Euro 2020 breakout Kalvin Phillips at 12/1 and even Marcus Rashford at 16/1. The success of January signings Dan Burn and Kieran Trippier showed that players with Premier League experience will prove invaluable as Newcastle seek to build a new-look competitive squad.
With the arrival of new sporting director Dan Ashworth, Newcastle have also made moves off the pitch. The new arrival from Brighton may shake things up in the transfer market by bringing more fresh faces to the club.
Several more ambitious potential signings are being touted. Neymar has been listed at 14/1 to leave Paris for Tyneside. While Newcastle fans won’t hold their breath at those odds, a statement signing from the new owners is not impossible.
Paul Pogba, Sadio Mane, Robert Lewandowski are all 33/1 to be at St James’ Park come September according to SkyBet. All three are expected to leave their clubs this summer. Mane has been heavily linked with Bayern Munich, while Pogba is reportedly looking at offers from Bayern, Real Madrid and PSG. Any such signing is unlikely, but the fact that Newcastle can dream of competing with these clubs is evidence of how far the Magpies have come since the Mike Ashley era. Could the landmark transfer of an established superstar be on Eddie Howe’s wish-list?
Whether Newcastle move for household names or maintain their level-headed January approach, a busy summer transfer window is one thing fans can be sure of.

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 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.
