Paul Mitchell goal set for £22m transfer to Brighton as Newcastle miss out

In a window stuffed with inadequate funds (from a PSR perspective) and failed approaches, Newcastle have once more missed out on a high teen to a Premier League rival.

Over the previous fortnight, experiences have revealed Paul Mitchell’s curiosity in abroad skills Abdukodir Khusanov, Vitor Reis and Juma Bah, just for PSR points to face in our method as all three ended up at Man Metropolis as a substitute.

Now, it appears one other teenage expertise recognized by our sporting director is Premier League sure.

Early in January, Sky Germany reported that Newcastle United had been battling Brighton, Aston Villa and Chelsea for the signature of 19-year-old striker Stefanos Tzimas.

Nevertheless, it appears like we’ve missed out to the Seagulls as Fabrizio Romano reveals that Brighton have now agreed a £22m cope with 2.Bundesliga aspect FC Nürnberg.

The Greek ahead has recorded 10 targets in Germany’s second division to date this season and is taken into account one of many high younger forwards in Europe.

Alongside Will Osula, it seems that Tzimas would’ve been one other venture signing from Paul Mitchell, in addition to a possible understudy to Alexander Isak now Callum Wilson is approaching the ultimate few months of his Newcastle contract.

The teen will see out the remainder of the season in Nuremberg, earlier than making the change to Fabian Hürzeler’s aspect forward of the 25/26 season.

After one other quiet window for the overwhelming majority of the Premier League, it might seem like an increasing number of golf equipment are gearing as much as spend massive and recruit closely in the summertime.

Can Newcastle afford, each actually and figuratively, stand again any longer and permit these round them to strengthen while cautious of potential PSR violations?

Followers will likely be hoping that Tzimas’ switch, alongside the likes of Khusanov and Reis, are merely simply the possession stockpiling funds forward of a giant summer time, the place the signing of right-winger have to be a high precedence after a number of underwhelming home windows.
