Newcastle United to table £30m bid ‘in next few days’, Toon make PL star ‘number one’ January target

Newcastle United will be hoping to return to winning ways when they come up against West Ham on Sunday afternoon.

The Magpies are currently 11th in the table, but have failed to win since the opening day, and were held to a frustrating 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace last time out.

For their part, the Hammers have won just one of their last five outings, and have taken just four points from their first six matches this season.

David Moyes’ men are currently 18th at this early stage of the campaign.

Tottenham talisman Harry Kane is attracting interest from Bayern Munich, according to Fabrizio Romano. The Italian reporter said: “From what I understand, Kane’s situation is very quiet at the moment. Nobody is worried about the rumours. Bayern will be looking for a new central striker in 2023 and Kane is certainly appreciated, but Tottenham have considered him untouchable for a long time. So far, the situation is totally under control and there is not even a hint of negotiation; just an appreciation by Bayern. Kane is key player for Conte, Paratici and Levy, and, as I said recently, Tottenham are working on getting their star player to sign a new contract.” (Caught Offside)
