PSV playmaker Georginio Wijnaldum has revealed that Tim Krul has been selling the positives of Newcastle United to his international teammate.

Newcastle United have been watching Yarouba Cissako with a view to a summer transfer, according to reports in France.

Newcastle linked with QPR defender Darnell Furlong.

Newcastle are favourites to land central defender Toby Alderweireld from Atletico Madrid on an initial loan deal according to reports this morning.

Newcastle United are now said to be considering a bid for winger Yannick Bolasie who only has a year left on his contract.

Newcastle are now linked with Adel Taarabt, a strange one considering how Alan Pardew totally failed to handle Hatem Ben Arfa in any productive way.

The Italian press are reporting that Uruguayan striker Abel Hernandez has expressed an interest in joining either Newcastle or…Real Madrid.

A summer Luuk De Jong price tag has been revealed whilst the Dutch striker has stated that he’d like his long-term future to be on Tyneside.

As always, the person left holding the ‘baby’ and trying to explain away every daft twist and turn of our transfer ‘activity’ is good old Alan Pardew.

If there is genuine interest from Newcastle then it will be interesting to see if United would appeal now for a player who it is claimed is desperate to join Marseille.
