Hello and welcome to today’s Newcastle United transfer blog. Stay tuned for all the breaking Newcastle transfer news.
Newcastle reject Sean Longstaff approach
Newcastle United have rejected a bid from Everton for midfielder Sean Longstaff.
The Gazette understands that the club tabled an offer for the midfielder last week. However, it was knocked back by Newcastle. The club hopes to agree a new contract with the Longstaff, whose deal expires in the summer.
Kieran Trippier’s registration deadline
Newcastle United have until NOON on Friday, January 7 2022, in order to register Kieran Trippier to make him available to face Cambridge United on Saturday.
If Trippier is not registered by noon on Friday, January 7, 2022, then he will be unable to play against Cambridge United and instead, will have to wait until the visit of Watford to make his Newcastle United debut.
Newcastle’s only summer signing, Joe Willock, met this fate in August as a missed deadline meant he was unable to play against West Ham United on the opening day of the season

Callum Wilson update
It’s not all good news for Newcastle United today as Callum Wilson has revealed the extent of the injury he picked up against Manchester United.
“It’s a strange one because I don’t actually know how long I’m going to be out for myself yet,” he said on The Footballer’s Football podcast.
“I’ve got an appointment on Friday with a specialist basically to go through everything and see what the scan says and we can go from there and distinguish a time frame really.
“[The injury] is in my calf, soleus area. You do that same movement a thousand times a week in training but for some reason I’ve managed to push off in the wrong position, the wrong location and it’s got a tear in it and gave way.”
