Callum Wilson’s New Deal: A Boost for Newcastle United

Callum Wilson, who has held the prestigious title of Newcastle United’s top goal-scorer for the last three seasons, has officially penned a one-year contract extension with the club. It welcomed the decision to secure the services of the prolific England international and Magpies’ beloved number nine at St. James’ Park until the summer of 2025. It marks a continuation of his goal-rich journey on Tyneside, a remarkable chapter that began with his arrival from AFC Bournemouth in September 2020.

Wilson’s impressive track record boasts 40 goals in 79 league appearances for United, a remarkable feat that includes two goals from four appearances in the current season. These stellar achievements have propelled him to fifth position in the club’s prestigious all-time Premier League goal scorers chart.

Kieran Tierney’s Transfer to Newcastle United Is a Priority

According to a recent report by Ben Jacobs in CaughtOffside, Newcastle United is reportedly interested in signing Arsenal’s left-back, Kieran Tierney, this summer. While the Scottish international could be available for approximately £40 million, there is no guarantee that he will be leaving the Emirates Stadium, as Arsenal’s manager, Mikel Arteta, is reportedly keen to retain him.

Despite the addition of Oleksandr Zinchenko in the summer, Tierney has fallen out of favor in the Arsenal first-team this season. However, other clubs such as Aston Villa and Monaco could also be in the running to sign him. Continue reading Kieran Tierney’s Transfer to Newcastle United Is a Priority

Newcastle United Win Marginally With Help from VAR

 

On Tuesday, in the first leg of their League Cup semifinal matchup, Newcastle United defeated Southampton 1-0 thanks to a second-half goal from Brazilian midfielder Joelinton. The hosts were furious that VAR had prevented them from scoring an equalizer. Joelinton and Newcastle thought they had scored in the first half, but referee Stuart Attwell ruled that he handled the ball before scoring. Before Joelinton converted Alexander Isak’s low cross in the 73rd minute and scored the goal that proved to be the winner, the visitors continued to miss chances in the second half.

Adam Armstrong, the Southampton striker, was also found to have used his hand, this time after a video assistant referee (VAR) review, despite Southampton’s initial belief that they had quickly leveled the score. Duje Caleta-Car was sent off late on for two bookable offenses, ending Saints’ evening on a sour note. This put Newcastle in a prime position to reach the final as they try to win their first domestic trophy since 1955. Continue reading Newcastle United Win Marginally With Help from VAR

Newcastle United sporting director plans swoop of Brighton ace from Chelsea. Newcastle United are reportedly planning to swoop in for Brighton winger Leandro Trossard and steal him away from fellow bidders Chelsea and the Belgian’s former boss Graham Potter.

According to 90 Min transfer insider Graeme Bailey, Potter is hopeful to reunite with Trossard in the summer transfer window but the Magpies won’t go quietly. Following Eddie Howe’s side’s good start to the season, which sees them currently sitting in sixth after yesterday’s 0-0 draw with Manchester United, Bailey goes on to say that Ashworth is ‘already fully aware of Trossard’s talent’ as Brighton hold crucial contract talks with the Belgian.

According to the Northern Echo, the Magpies are set to make the 25-year-old their ‘number one transfer priority’ once the window re-opens in the new year, with recruiting a new attacking midfielder seemingly the main focus.
