Here is all the latest gossip surrounding Newcastle United:
Tarkowski signing could be ‘massive’
January reinforcements are likely at Newcastle United with reports last week suggesting Howe would like to add to the spine of his team.


One player that could fill this requirement is Burnley’s James Tarkowski, who has been linked with a move to St James’s Park, either in January or in the summer when his contract at Turf Moor expires.

Hide AdTarkowski, 28, has played just shy of 200 times for Burnley since his move from Brentford in 2016 and former Aston Villa manager Tim Sherwood believes signing the defender could be ‘massive’ for Newcastle in their fight against relegation this season:
As picked up by HITC, Sherwood told Optus Sport: “Tarkowski has been touted around. Burnley are a selling club to the likes of Newcastle. If they come, their [Burnley] eyes will light up because all of a sudden they can put another £10 million on the price.
“But that kid will hit the floor running. If he keeps himself fit, he’ll be massive for keeping that club up.”

All three worked under Howe at The Cherries and could be relied upon by Howe to help drag Newcastle away from relegation danger.
Sevilla ‘keeper on radar
Whilst it seems that Newcastle are pretty well stocked in the goalkeeping department, this hasn’t stopped rumours linking them with a multitude of shot-stoppers.
Marc-Andre Ter Stegen and Dean Henderson are just two names linked with a potential move to St James’s Park - a list which you can add Sevilla and Morocco goalkeeper Bono to.
