Newcastle United have confirmed just one permanent transfer this month with Javier Manquillo moving back to Spain to reunite with Rafa Benitez at Celta Vigo. It had appeared that the Magpies would be relatively quiet this month, however, a flurry of reports surrounding the futures of a couple of key players has sparked the window into life on Tyneside.
Both Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson have been linked with moves away this month whilst Newcastle still have a job to do in order to trim Eddie Howe’s squad and free up some money in order to sign any replacements, should either Trippier or Wilson leave this month, Here, we take a look at 15 players that could leave Newcastle United this month, and five that won’t leave St James’ Park before deadline day:
1. Jamaal Lascelles
Lascelles is the club’s captain and stepped up to the plate in Sven Botman’s absence to deliver some very good performances during a tricky period of the season. With Lascelles’ contract due to expire at the end of the season, both the club and Lascelles have a major decision to make. Besiktas have recently been linked with a move for Lascelles.
2. Emil Krafth
Krafth has revealed his desire to extend his stay at Newcastle United, however, as it stands, he will leave the club at the end of the season when his current deal comes to an end. Whilst there is little to say he will move on this month, it could be Newcastle’s last chance to secure a transfer fee for the Swedish international.
3. Jeff Hendrick
Hendrick is currently on-loan at Sheffield Wednesday. He could leave the club on a permanent basis this month. He will almost certainly leave the club at the end of the season once his contract expires.
4. Ben Parkinson
Parkinson has been involved in a few first-team squads this season and even made his Premier League debut late on during the win over Chelsea. He could be allowed to leave on-loan this month.
