Newcastle United has had an exceptionally quiet transfer season thus far this summer, but it appears the Tyneside team may close a number of moves in the last days of the market.
After four bids for Marc Guehi were turned down by Crystal Palace, Newcastle is still pursuing the player, but in case the deal goes through, they are also considering Edmond Tapsoba as a backup.
They also have a new winger on their want list, and Keith Downie has been informed of the identity of a forward Newcastle is hoping to recruit.
However, fresh rumors indicate Newcastle is aiming to bolster their midfield before the transfer market closes at the end of the month, so they might not be done there.
Newcastle United ‘very serious’ about midfield target
The transfer window for Newcastle United might soon be opening up as they look to add players to fill three slots.
Newcastle is reportedly “very serious” about acquiring Adrien Rabiot, a central midfielder, according to CaughtOffside.
According to the report, Newcastle is willing to entice the 28-year-old to St James’ Park by providing him with a competitive compensation deal.
Rabiot left Juventus earlier this summer, making him a free agent at this time. Long-term interest in Rabiot has been exhibited by Manchester United, while Rabiot is apparently still being pursued by Arsenal and Liverpool.
The France international, who has already won six league crowns throughout his club career—five with Paris Saint-Germain and one with Juventus—would provide Eddie Howe’s team a wealth of experience.
A world-class midfield
Sandro Tonali’s return from suspension and Bruno Guimaraes’ retention might give Newcastle one of the strongest midfield combinations in the Premier League this year.
Joelinton and Lewis Miley, a young player with promise, bolster Newcastle’s outstanding midfield depth.
Rabiot is a free agent, so acquiring him would be a wise move and a declaration of Newcastle’s intention to play in Europe again the following year.
