Newcastle United are set to return to St James’ Park this Saturday for a Premier League match against West Ham. Following their FA Cup defeat to Manchester City, Eddie Howe’s side has had a chance to regroup and refocus on their final 10 league games with hopes of climbing up the table.
David Moyes’ West Ham team, currently three places ahead of the Magpies, will provide a tough challenge for Newcastle. Meanwhile, the Shields Gazette has gathered the latest news surrounding the club, including Newcastle’s interest in potential targets Raphinha and Gleison Bremer.
Raphinha, a winger from Barcelona, has caught the eye of Newcastle’s head of recruitment during England’s match against Brazil at Wembley. With a reported price tag of £60m, Raphinha’s success in the Premier League with Leeds United may entice Newcastle to make a move. Similarly, Gleison Bremer, a standout centre-back at Juventus, is also on Newcastle’s radar with a potential fee of £60m.
In addition, Newcastle is rumored to be one of the clubs interested in Everton’s Jarrad Branthwaite, alongside Manchester City. Despite Everton’s high asking price of around £75m, the young centre-back’s impressive performances have sparked interest from top clubs, including Newcastle, who are in need of defensive reinforcements.
Although a move for Branthwaite may be unlikely, Newcastle’s pursuit of talented players like Raphinha and Bremer showcases their ambition to strengthen the team in the upcoming transfer window. As Newcastle prepares to face West Ham, fans eagerly anticipate the club’s potential moves in the transfer market to enhance their squad for the challenges ahead.
