Eddie Howe says Goodbye as he confirms that this will be his last season at Newcastle United as he is now going to….
With a deal to sign Lloyd Kelly on the cards, Newcastle United have now turned their attention towards landing an in-demand future star for Eddie Howe this summer.
Newcastle transfer news
Reports suggest that a deal to sign Kelly is set to reach completion this summer as he leaves Bournemouth as a free agent at the end of his contract. The defender will arrive to hand Howe some much-needed defensive depth following long-term injuries to both Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles, which will carry through to next season.
It’s not all good news for the Magpies, however, who have seen their move to sign Tosin Adarabioyo hijacked by Chelsea. Those at St James’ Park did look on course to welcome the defender in similar fashion to Kelly, with Adarabioyo’s Fulham contract also up this summer, but it now looks as though the Blues have swooped in, according to Fabrizio Romano.
Away from their Adarabioyo disappointment, however, the Magpies could land a future star. According to Florian Plettenberg, as relayed by Schalke News, Newcastle have made serious contact to sign Assan Ouedraogo from Schalke this summer, having presented their project and an offer to the young midfielder and his representatives alongside Manchester United, Aston Villa and Liverpool.
