Newcastle United latest news: Wolves have agreed a transfer exit just days ahead of their clash with Eddie Howe’s side.

Wolves have reportedly agreed a deal to loan out midfielder Marshall Munetsi.

Munetsi joined Wolves from Stade Reims in January 2025 and became a key part of Vitor Pereira’s starting lineups during his time as manager of the club. However, the Zimbabwe international hasn’t featured in any competition for his club since the beginning of December because of injury.

That injury meant Munetsi missed the chance to represent his country at the African Cup of Nations - although the 29-year-old revealed on social media ahead of the tournament that he believed he was fit enough to contribute in Morocco: “This one hurts, as representing the Warriors has always been a dream, and wearing our colours is the greatest honour of my career. AFCON would have even been more significant," Munetsi wrote.

“I had an injury recently, but my club, Wolves, communicated with the association that I was recovering well and even offered medical support to ensure that I could participate at the AFCON. Unfortunately, I received no follow-up communication, and decisions were made without clarity-speculation which wasn't the case.

“While I'm hurt, my unwavering support for the national team remains strong . I respect the coach's decisions and stand behind the boys wholeheartedly. I will always be ready to defend the nation I love. Go Warriors, go!”

Wolves ‘agree’ Marshall Munetsi transfer

According to the Express & Star, Munetsi, Wolves and Ligue 1 side Paris FC have agreed a deal that will see the midfielder move back to France on-loan for the remainder of the season. Munetsi spent six years in France following his move from Orlando Pirates in 2019 and will join a Paris FC side that dumped city-rivals Paris Saint-Germain out of the Coupe de France earlier this week.

Paris FC are expected to pay Munetsi’s wages during his time at the club with Wolves receiving a ‘small loan fee’. However, there is not expected to be an option to buy the midfielder when that loan deal comes to an end.

Wolves, though, will benefit from the freeing up of a non-homegrown player slot in the Premier League squad. The Molineux-outfit may look to replace Munetsi this summer and can look abroad to do that if his move to Paris FC is complete.

Wolves host Newcastle United at Molineux on Sunday aiming for what would be just their second Premier League win of the season. Edwards’ side, though, have been in good form of late and have taken five points from their last three league outings.

Wolves also hit six past Shrewsbury Town in the FA Cup last weekend with Jorgen Strand Larsen, a man who was heavily-linked with a move to St James’ Park during the summer, scoring a hat-trick in that game. The Norwegian international was the centre of numerous bids from Tyneside during the final weeks of August but Wolves stood firm in their insistence that he was not for sale.

Since then, though, Strand Larsen has scored just once in the Premier League with that goal coming way back in October against Burnley.
