      Ahead of their 2-0 defeat to Bournemouth on Saturday, those unavailable included Alexander Isak, Callum Wilson, Sven Botman, Dan Burn, Harvey Barnes, Sandro Tonali and Jacob Murphy.
      Miguel Almiron was then replaced after half an hour with an injury of his own.
      And Swiss defender Fabian Schar withdrew from international duty on Wednesday due to a knock.
      It leaves Newcastle in a desperate situation with regards to the depth of their squad heading into a busy schedule.

      They are still in all four competitions – the Premier League, Carabao Cup, Champions League and FA Cup.
      According to Tutto Atalanta, Newcastle are preparing to address those issues with a £35million bid for Brazilian holding midfielder Ederson, 24.
      The Magpies are understood to have made the “first approaches” to sign the player.
      And Atalanta are said to be calm about the situation as they eye a profit for the man they brought in from Salernitana for around £18m in January 2022.

      The Italians will listen to “monstrous offers” that are “impossible to refuse”, but will not be entertained by any proposal less than £35m.
      It remains unclear whether a January sale is on the table, with Newcastle keen for mid-season reinforcements.
      Ederson has contributed five goals and one assists in 16 appearances so far this season.
      He is yet to make his debut for Brazil’s senior side, but has earned one cap for the U20s. More

      by

      MANCHESTER UNITED outcast Jadon Sancho is wanted by Saudi side Al-Hilal ahead of the January transfer window, reports suggest.Sancho has fallen out of favour at United after his public spat with manager Erik ten Hag following his omission from the Dutch tactician’s squad against Arsenal in September.

      The winger no longer trains or interacts with Ten Hag’s senior squad as reports suggest he has refused to apologise to his head coach even though that could have reinstated him in the team.
      And according to Caught Offside, the England international could go to Saudi Arabia to replace Neymar at Al-Hilal.
      The Saudi giants are prioritising a replacement for the Brazil international after a serious injury ruled him out for 10 months.
      Jorge Jesus’ side isn’t necessarily looking for a “like-for-like profile”.

      Sancho has failed to stand out at United ever since his £73million arrival from Borussia Dortmund in 2021.
      The 23-year-old has only amassed a mere 12 goals and six assists in 82 appearances.
      But the forward shone bright during his four-year stint at Dortmund as he registered a staggering 50 goals and 64 assists in 137 matches.
      Sancho, though, hasn’t shown much interest in moving to Saudi Arabia any time soon.

      Saudi clubs, on the other hand, showed interest after he fell down the pecking order at Old Trafford.
      Steven Gerrard’s Al-Ettifaq made an enquiry but United wanted a loan with a £50m obligation to buy.
      Sancho has also attracted interest from Europe with Juventus keeping tabs, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano.
      But many teams prefer a straight loan or similar deal with an option to buy. More

      Newcastle ‘set to bid £58m for Sporting Lisbon star Ousmane Diomande, 19, with defender having £70m release clause’

      by

      According to Tipsbladet, the Toon are preparing an offer worth more than £58million for Diomande as the winter market fast approaches.
      Sporting, however, have set a £70m release clause for the centre-back.
      Newcastle, though, are looking to test the waters for the Ivory Coast international, who is considered the best African prospect playing in Europe.
      And the 19-year-old’s former club Midtjylland are looking at a cash windfall from a potential deal.

      That is because the Danish giants included a resale clause in the deal with Sporting after they sold him for £6.5m in January.
      In fact, Midtjylland will make 20 per cent of the final price if the Portuguese giants sell Diomande before his contract runs out in 2027.
      Manchester City as well as Arsenal have also been linked ahead of the January transfer window.
      However, Newcastle are very keen and need to boost their backline for the second half of the season.

      Howe sent scouts earlier this month to watch the Ivorian play for Lisbon in their 2-1 derby defeat by Benfica.
      The defender is comfortable playing in a back three or four and has started almost every game with Ruben Amorim’s side.
      Diomande has amassed a total of three goals and one assist in 33 appearances with Sporting. More

      Arsenal make fringe player ‘untouchable’ as Champions League giants ‘make approach’ for defender

      by

      ARSENAL have claimed Jakub Kiwior is “untouchable” amid interest from two huge Italian clubs, according to reports.The Poland international, 23, only joined the Gunners from Spezia in January in a deal worth £21million.

      He has played 16 times for Mikel Arteta’s side, scoring one goal.
      But although he has started two Premier League games so far this season, he remains a fringe player as Gabriel and William Saliba are the trusted centre-back partnership.
      As a result, Calcio Mercato journalist Daniele Longo has claimed both AC Milan and Roma are interested in bringing him in on loan.
      It is understood they have proposed January deals to Arsenal.

      However, the Premier League side have made it clear he is not for sale.
      Arteta’s men are light in the centre of defence.
      This is because of the long-term injury to new signing Jurrien Timber – who was ruled out in August with an ACL tear and is not expected back any time soon.
      Ben White can fill in as a fourth-choice centre-half if two of Saliba, Gabriel and Kiwior are unavailable.

      But after that there is no obvious candidate, following the departure of Rob Holding.

      They sit top of their Champions League group with three wins from four games. More

      Manchester United and West Ham are among the clubs all around Europe who also like the look of the German international and Newcastle could face stiff competition.
      Tah, 27, has been outstanding in Leverkusen’s impressive start to the season which put them top of the Bundesliga going into this weekend’s fixtures.
      Xabi Alonso’s side also have a perfect record in the Europa League and would be very reluctant to lose Tah before the end of the season.
      But the 6ft 5in centre-back has just over 18 months left on his contract and the German side could feel pressure to cash in if clubs make big offers in January.

      Tah joined Leverkusen from Hamburg in a deal worth around £6.5m in 2015.
      He has gone on to make 321 appearances for them to date.
      The commanding defender has missed just one game in all competitions so far this term and has already scored four goals.
      Tah has earned 19 caps for Germany and will hope to play a key part in Euro 2024, which they will host.

      Having hardly featured under Hansi Flick, Tah has started Germany’s three games since the former Bayern Munich boss’ dismissal.
      He was part of his country’s squad for Euro 2016 but has not been to a tournament since.

      Jacob Murphy, Dan Burn, Harvey Barnes, Elliot Anderson, Sven Botson, Callum Wilson, Alexander Isak, Miguel Almiron, Javier Manquillo and Matt Target are all unavailable, meaning the Magpies lack options in key areas.
      They were also hit with another huge setback last month when summer signing Sandro Tonali received a 10-month ban from football for betting breaches.
      Amid Newcastle’s current crisis, Howe has already prepared a list of transfer targets for the upcoming window.
      And according to The Northern Echo, out-of-favour Man City midfielder Phillips is at the top.

      Due to Financial Fair Play regulations, the Magpies are expected to try signing the 27-year-old on an initial loan deal.
      But they want to include an option to buy in the summer.
      Newcastle inquired about Phillips’ availability earlier this year, but the midfielder wanted to stay and fight for his place at the Etihad.
      Phillips has been limited to just four Premier League appearances this season – all of which have come off the bench.
