Prior to the summer transfer window, the Magpies have been linked to a move for a Championship player who is reportedly in demand.
Newcastle United and Aston Villa are reportedly interested in a highly sought-after midfielder who is eager to make a return to the Premier League in the upcoming weeks.
Newcastle, in particular, is actively compiling a list of transfer targets as they seek to bounce back from a challenging season marked by injuries and the long-term suspension of midfielder Sandro Tonali. Despite the setbacks, manager Eddie Howe has diligently steered his team through adversity, aiming to secure European qualification for a second consecutive season.
With Newcastle United reportedly open to reinforcing all areas of their squad, they are exploring various options including the free transfer market. Their interest in Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly and Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo has already been noted. Another potential target being considered is Leicester City midfielder Wilfried Ndidi, who is nearing the end of his current contract with the Championship title contenders. Ndidi, a crucial player in Leicester’s push for an immediate return to the Premier League, could provide valuable reinforcement to Newcastle’s midfield.
According to TBR Football, Newcastle United and Aston Villa are among a list of up to twelve clubs interested in signing the former Genk midfielder on a free transfer as his contract nears its conclusion. Brentford, Crystal Palace, and Fulham are also reportedly among the admirers of the player, whose future at the King Power Stadium is currently under consideration.
