Newcastle United are yet to sign a player this month, but they have still been linked with a plethora of players from across the footballing world. Whilst finances are tight, they could still dip into the market between now and deadline day.
Although there may be few new faces this month, there could be a few departures with the club eager to sort out loan deals for some of their promising talents, whilst also keen to offload some players off their wage bill. However, it isn’t just the fringe players of Eddie Howe’s squad that have been linked with a move away from the club this month with a couple of first-team regulars reportedly garnering interest from abroad.
Here, we assess Newcastle United’s potential transfer business in the final fortnight of the window to see whether what deals are done, what are close to completing, ones that maybe could happen and those that are unlikely:
17. IN: Joshua Kimmich (unlikely)
Newcastle United have been linked with an audacious move for the Bayern Munich man. Kimmich has reiterated his desire to stay at the Allianz Arena and a move away this month is very unlikely. | Getty Images
18. OUT: Cameron Ferguson (done)
Ferguson spent time on-loan at Forfar Athletic this season, but returned to the north east earlier this month. He has since been released from his Magpies contract. | Getty Images
19. OUT: Kieran Trippier (unlikely)
Trippier was linked with a move to Bayern Munich, but the German champions have pulled out of negotiations for the Three Lions man and have moved onto other targets. | Getty Images
20. IN: Amadou Onana (unlikely)
Newcastle are admirers of the Everton man but a deal for him this month would be very hard to complete. It seems a loan with an obligation to buy in summer is the only option this month and it’s highly unlikely that the Toffees would agree to that. | Getty Images
