Five Newcastle United linked players who look set to stay with current clubs after transfer deadline

Newcastle United have been linked with transfer moves for a seemingly countless amount of players in this summer transfer window.

The St James’ Park side have followed through on some of the speculation to land the likes of Sven Botman and Alexander Isak - both of whom had long been touted as potential targets.

However, there have been considerably more names where moves haven’t materialised for one reason or another and many of those players now not only look like they won’t be moving to the North East but probably won’t be making any sort of move at all.

Here are five players who were linked with Newcastle United this summer who are likely to remain with their current clubs after the transfer window shuts at 11pm tonight:

Anthony Gordon - Everton

Newcastle were first linked with Gordon in July with a surprise £35m move to St James Park touted.

Nothing came of the news with Everton likely holding out for considerably more money before Chelsea took over as the player’s most likely destination if he were to leave Goodison Park.

The Blues interest looked strong and a deal did seem possible for a while but Frank Lampard has now said that the “deadlines has passed” for them to sell the English striker.

Youri Tielemans - Leicester City

The Belgian midfielder has seemingly been linked with almost half the clubs in the Premier League this summer including Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool.

Newcastle were also one of the sides thought to be interested in Tielemans and recent news that Leicester had set a £25m price tag on the player ahead of deadline day seemed like the touch paper to ignite a transfer battle.

However, with just one year left on his current deal at the King Power Stadium, it may be that he remains with the Foxes for now and leave for less money in January or on a free next summer.

Ismaila Sarr - Watford

The first of two Watford players on this list, Sarr had been linked with a move to St James’ Park as far back as June.

The Magpies interest in the 24-year old seemed to cool as the window progressed though and Aston Villa soon became the front runners for his signature.

Crystal Palace, Everton and Leeds United were just some of the other clubs rumoured to be keen but it now looks increasingly likely that he’ll remain at Vicarage Road.

Joao Pedro - Watford

Newcastle’s reported interest in Sarr dated back to early in the summer but links to teammate Pedro emerged late last month.

Everton have now reportedly made a ‘last-gasp’ effort to bring in the Brazilian forward while Newcastle’s interes hasn’t totally disappeared from the headlines.

However, Watford are “standing firm” when it comes to the 20-year old and say neither he or Sarr will leave on Deadline Day.

Conor Gallagher - Chelsea

As recently as today it has been said that as many as eight Premier League teams are interested in the Chelsea midfielder and Newcastle are likely to be one of them.

The Magpies reportedly enquired about the player early last month and that interest may not have totally discapted but Crystal Palace and Aston Villa are thought to be more likely destinations.

Everton, Leicester City and West Ham are other clubs who are thought to be keen but the current likelihood is that he will remain a Chelsea player after the deadline has passed.
