Newcastle United transfer rumours: Steve Bruce's replacement 'revealed' if Mike Ashley pulls trigger as Magpies attacker wants exit
Newcastle United take on Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday following the international break.
But Tottenham Hotspur are facing a left-back crisis ahead of Sunday’s Premier League tie with the Magpies.
Ben Davies, last week, withdrew from the Wales squad following a significant injury to his calf with a return date unknown.
That leaves Sergio Reguilon as the only senior like-for-like replacement in the Spurs squad, however, the 24-year-old is facing a race against the clock to be passed fit.
Reguilon is back on the grass but has not yet resumed full training with a number of his teammates currently on international duty.
Matt Doherty also picked up a knock whilst playing for the Republic of Ireland during their shock home defeat to Luxembourg.
In other news, Newcastle have again been linked with a move for Sampdoria defender Omar Colley, with reports that Fulham have joined the race.
The 28-year-old, according to ClubDoria46 via Sport Witness, is being monitored by the pair as well as Leeds United and West Ham United.
The Serie A club reportedly want between £8.5million and £12.8m for the Gambian international, who only recently signed a new contract until June 2025.
Colley to St James’s Park was a transfer rumour that was floated around in January when he almost joined Fulham before a dealt fell through due to “bureaucratic difficulties’”.
But, as ever, there’s still plenty of rumours flying around the internet this morning
