Newcastle United target available for transfer as Magpies legend hits out midfielder's agent – gossip

With the January transfer window just around the corner, speculation surrounding the Whites and their top-flight rivals is beginning to intensity.

And in this morning’s latest transfer headlines, the Magpies are once again linked with Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori.

As per transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, the Blues see Tomori as apart of their long-term plans but in the meantime, are happy to sanction a January loan.

Newcastle are among the clubs who have been listed as a potential suitor in recent weeks, while West Ham came close to signing the former Derby loanee last summer.

In other Newcastle related news, club legend Robbie Lee has hit out at Miguel Almiron’s agent.

The Paraguayan's representative said last month Almiron is anxious to leave St James’s Park, but Lee has back.

He said: “Almiron’s got to tell his agent to be quiet and start playing well for Newcastle because he hasn't’.”
