Newcastle United and Leicester City ‘plot’ midfielder raid, Man United ‘hold talks’ for Toon star

Newcastle United continued their unbeaten start to the season with a 2-1 Carabao Cup win over Tranmere Rovers on Wednesday evening.

A strike from Jamaal Lascelles levelled things up before the break, however, with Chris Wood scoring the eventual winner in the 52nd minute.
