The latest reports regarding Newcastle United’s transfers indicate that Arsenal is currently in the lead to secure the signing of a promising talent from the Bundesliga. Here, we provide an overview of the most recent developments from St James’ Park and beyond:
Newcastle United has decided to lessen its interest in a defender who has attracted attention from Manchester United in the past. Sporting Lisbon’s Goncalo Inacio had previously been linked with a move to St James’ Park as Newcastle sought to strengthen their defensive lineup. However, recent reports suggest that the club is no longer considering signing him and has cooled their interest. This decision may stem from concerns about Inacio’s development, coupled with a reported transfer fee of £52 million. Instead, Newcastle is exploring alternative options. Manchester United is also reportedly interested in the 22-year-old defender, with Fabrizio Romano mentioning Inacio as part of their shortlist, alongside Antonio Silva of Benfica, Bayer Leverkusen’s Edmond Tapsoba, and Jean-Clair Todibo, who has previously been linked with a move to St James’ Park. Liverpool has also expressed interest in signing Inacio, who is under contract with Sporting Lisbon until 2027.
In a separate development, Arsenal is said to be leading the race to secure the services of Borussia Dortmund’s young winger, Jamie Bynoe-Gittens. Several Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United, Chelsea, and Manchester United, have also shown interest in the 19-year-old player. Bynoe-Gittens, much like Jadon Sancho before him, made the move from Manchester City to Dortmund last summer in pursuit of regular first-team opportunities and development at a club renowned for nurturing young talent.

Bynoe-Gittens has made five appearances in various competitions for Dortmund this season, and his future looks promising as an England Under-21 winger. Despite substantial interest in his talent, Bynoe-Gittens has recently extended his contract with Dortmund, committing to stay at Signal Iduna Park until 2028. It’s worth noting that Newcastle United could face Bynoe-Gittens in an upcoming Champions League match when they host their German counterparts at St James’ Park later this month.
