Eighteenth in the Premier League, Newcastle intends to save itself. And its new owners intend to put the package to continue to strengthen the workforce of Eddie Howe, who has already welcomed Kieran Trippier (31 years old, ex-Atlético de Madrid) and Chris Wood (30 years old, ex-Burnley) since l opening of the transfer window. As we know, Bruno Guimarães (24) is very close to joining them from Olympique Lyonnais, against a check for €42.5 million plus bonus.
The Brazilian international midfielder, who is having his medical visit this Friday, will not be the only ones to arrive at St James’ Park in the coming hours. the Telegraph ensures that the Magpies are actually preparing a triple hit. In addition to the Auriverde, Eddie Nketiah (22, Arsenal) and Dan Burn (29, Brighton) are also expected this weekend at the Toons.
Three knocks and a hope
The young striker, who has decided not to extend his contract with the Gunners until June, should arrive in the next few hours to finalize the final details of the operation. The English defender is still waiting for an agreement between the two clubs to pack his bags, but his choice is clearly to join the North of England by the end of the month.
In addition to these three burning issues, Newcastle still have a tiny hope of achieving their goals for Jesse Lingard (29), even if Manchester United are still blocking the operation by asking for huge compensation (nearly €20 million) for an element under contract until June 2022. The final sprint of the Magpies transfer window therefore promises to be very hot!
