The Summer transfer window is now officially open!

And the Magpies have been linked with summer transfer deals in the past weeks.

Here, though, we take a look at the latest transfer talk and gossip from Newcastle United and their Premier League rivals:

Former Newcastle United man Steve Howey has claimed clubs will be targeting Callum Wilson and Allan Saint-Maximin during the transfer window: “Well, really they have two players that they won’t be looking to move on but clubs will be looking at them, and that’s Saint-Maximin and Wilson.” (This is Futbol)

Everton and Leeds United are both in the frame to sign Real Madrid left-back Marcelo, with the 33-year-old Brazilian not in the plans of new Real manager Carlo Ancelotti. (Sunday Mirror)

Interestingly, the bookies are offering offs on Saint-Maximin departing St James’ Park this summer. Arsenal (8/1), Everton (9/1), Dortmund (10/1), Manchester United (10/1), PSG (11/1), Bayern Munich (12/1) and Liverpool (16/1) are all in the market. (SkyBet)

Burnley are attempting lure 35-year-old Inter Milan defender Ashley Young back to the Premier League with the offer of a one-year deal and option of a further 12 months. (Sunday Mirror)
