In the meantime, here is a look at some of the latest transfer news and rumours coming out of the club...

Striker on radar

Newcastle are being linked with a summer swoop for Roma striker Tammy Abraham. The 25-year-old, who switched over to Italy in 2021, has scored 36 goals in 101 appearances for the Serie A giants to date. Prior to his move abroad, he rose up through the youth ranks at Chelsea and fired in 30 goals in 82 games for the London club as well as having loan spells away from Stamford Bridge at Bristol City, Swansea City and Aston Villa to gain experience.

According to a report by Fichajes, Eddie Howe’s side are ‘fighting’ for his signature ahead of the next transfer window. However, there are other clubs in the frame such as Chelsea, Tottenham Hotspur, Manchester United, Liverpool and Villa.

Neymar advised against move

Former Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva wants Neymar to join the Gunners and not Newcastle. The Brazil international is expected to move on from PSG at the end of this season for a new challenge.

Silva has told CompleteSports: “The last few weeks at PSG have been very strange for Neymar. Seeing people go to his house; I don’t agree with this, fans are not allowed to go to a player’s house to protest. I would love to see him at Arsenal instead of Newcastle because I love the boy as a player, but he also has a lot to contribute to football.”
