As seemingly the norm with Newcastle since the takeover of the club in October 2021, a plethora of names have been linked with a move to St James’s Park in the upcoming transfer window. Some of the players linked with a move to Tyneside will be familiar to fans, whilst some have emerged as recent targets for the club.
But which of these rumoured players will Newcastle look to sign when the transfer window reopens next month? And which of these will Newcastle definitely not sign in the January window?
Here, we take a look at 13 players that have been linked with a move to Newcastle in January and assess whether a move to Tyneside is likely next month.

11. Hugo Ekitike
Ekitike was close to joining Newcastle on multiple occasions but instead opted to move to PSG this summer. Although his loan in the French capital hasn’t started too well, Newcastle’s move for Alexander Isak in summer ruled out the possibility of them reigniting any interest in the Frenchman.

12. Mykhaylo Mudryk
Arsenal have been made favourites to sign Mudryk, but Newcastle had been credited with great interest in the Ukrainian. His form for Shakhtar Donetsk this season, particularly in the Champions League, has been outstanding and he is viewed as one of Europe’s next top stars, however, it appears that the Emirates Stadium will be his destination if he makes the move to England.
