Newcastle United ‘eye’ speedy centre-back as £40m forward emerges as transfer target

Newcastle United are now just a day away from returning to action following their heavy defeat to Tottenham last weekend.

Eddie Howe’s men must dust themselves down quickly ahead of returning to action on Friday night, and they will be desperate to bounce back with a win.

Burnley’sv victory on Wednesday will have all the teams under the 40-point mark feeling a little nervous, and the Magpies could do with two more wins.

As they prepare to take on Wolves, we have rounded up all the latest transfer rumours.

St Juste interest

The Magpies are said to have expressed an interest in Mainz defender Jeremiah St Juste previously.

And they are now being tipped to return with fresh interest this summer, with Fussball Transfers claiming Newcastle are potential suitors.

St Juste is described as the fastest player in Bundesliga, and it is no secret that Newcastle are likely to sign a defender this summer.

Sarr links

Newcastle are said to be expressing an interest in Watford’s £40m ace Ismaila Sarr.

The forward is being linked with a move to AC Milan, with the Serie A giants said to be keen to strengthen their front-line.

And in a report from MilanLive.it, it’s claimed Newcastle are also tracking Sarr ahead of this summer as they look to bolster their own attack.
