Eight deals Newcastle United could do on transfer deadline day & three they won’t - photo gallery
It’s transfer deadline day and here are the deals Newcastle United could still do in the closing stages of the window.
Newcastle have made two signings so far this January with Garang Kuol joining from Central Coast Mariners and Anthony Gordon joining from Premier League rivals Everton. Harrison Ashby from West Ham United is also set to join.
In terms of outgoings, Chris Wood has joined Nottingham Forest on loan and Jonjo Shelvey looks set to follow on a permanent deal. Several Under-21s players have also been loaned out with Kuol, Joe White, Dan Langley, Dylan Stephenson and Niall Brookwell leaving on temporary deals until the end of the 2022-23 season - but more could still follow.
Goalkeeper Karl Darlow is also set to leave on loan having agreed a deal with Championship side Hull City.
Given the departures, Newcastle have space in the squad to make more signings heading into deadline day.

The Zenit St. Petersburg forward was rumoured as a potential target for Newcastle United in the window but the arrival of Anthony Gordon will see Newcastle look elsewhere.
11. NOT IN - Matheus Franca
Young Brazilian has been linked with a move to Newcastle United this month, but Flamengo have been holding firm in their attempts to keep hold of the 18-year-old. A £20million fee has reportedly been rejected by Flamengo. There may not be enough time left to get this one over the line. Photo: MAURO PIMENTEL
