The Magpies face Leicester City in the top-flight as Steve Bruce’s team look to bounce back from a defeat last weekend against Arsenal.

Here, though, we take a look at all of the latest Newcastle United-related news and gossip from around the web:

Pundit delivers verdict on potential Newcastle United transfer

Former Aston Villa attacker Gabby Agbonlahor has delivered his verdict on a potential Newcastle United transfer.

Kristoffer Ajer has been heavily linked with a move to St James’ Park.

And Agbonlahor has weighed in with his opinion.

“I think he’s a good player but I don’t see him in the Premier League, to be honest,” Agbonlahor told Football Insider.

"He might get found out in the Premier League. You’ve got to respect how big the Premier League is.

“I’m not sure about that, I don’t think he’s ready for the Premier League yet.

“He wouldn’t get the time on the ball in the Premier League. You can’t be flying forward in the Premier League like he does.”

Matt Richie lifts lid on spell out of Steve Bruce’s starting XI

Matt Ritchie thought his Newcastle United career was over earlier this season.

The 31-year-old, signed by Rafa Benitez in the summer of 2016, has reflected on his spell out of the team in an interview with Sky Sports.

“If I'm honest, yes, I thought my Newcastle career was over," said Ritchie.

"As a kid I went on loan as a young age. When I went back to Portsmouth, I could've stayed there longer.”
