Newcastle eye two signings and overseas options as Toon wait for ‘dominoes to fall’

According to Mark Douglas at the i, Newcastle United are pushing to secure two new signings before Friday’s 11pm deadline.

Despite Eddie Howe stating this morning that we “probably” can’t bring in a centre-back and a right-winger this week, Douglas reveals that we are exploring the European market for a right-sided attacker after being ‘priced out’ of moves for domestic targets.

No names have been mentioned in the piece, but loan deals – or loan-to-buy options – may be one to watch and the only realistic route to signing a right-winger should Marc Guehi sign for around £70m.

It seems PSR won’t allow us to bring in more than two new additions, yet Douglas does mention that we remain keen on Burnley’s James Trafford; who is seen as a potential long-term successor to Nick Pope.

However, he reports that we are ‘waiting for dominoes to fall’ when it comes to outgoings, as exits for Miguel Almiron – who is available for around £15m – Martin Dubravka and/or Odysseas Vlachodimos could help us bring in a right-winger and revisit a deal for Trafford following loan-to-buy rumours earlier this week.
