Newcastle transfer news
The Magpies are reportedly interested in signing the Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleherseeing him as his replacement for Martin Dubravka and eventual successor to Nick Pope between the sticks. The Republic of Ireland international has been a great back-up option for Alisson for years, although he earned Newcastle a point in a 3-3 draw at St James’ Park last month.
However, Kelleher is not the only goalkeeping target being looked at as he is a Burnley stopper James Trafford continues to emerge as a standout option for Newcastle, having once again been a key player for the Clarets this season.
Meanwhile, Premier League the party is deemed to have made a move for Juma Bahand the 18-year-old AIK Freetong centre-back is also wanted by Manchester City and Chelsea. He would be his long-term addition Eddie Howeteam, rather than an immediate key figure in the heart of the defense.
Jacob Murphy may be in outstanding form for Newcastle on the right wing, but improvements are still being sought in that position. Lee Kang-in is one player mentioned as an option, with the South Korea international currently working at Paris Saint-Germain. Now the rumor about the departure of the Magpies has fallen, and another nice figure could be close to leaving with Dubravka.
Newcastle move forward in advanced exit talks
According to Grova on X, Newcastle winger Miguel Almiron is in advanced talks with FC Charlotte due to move there in January, although the transfer is not yet in the final stages.
The time seems right for the Paraguayan’s career at the Paraguayan Magpies on Tyneside to come to a natural conclusion, with Murphy ahead of him in the front row and a superior option needed on the right side of attack.
Assuming the transfer is completed this month, £60,000 a week Almiron will still leave Newcastle as a popular figure, however, with Howe praising him saying: “He (Almiron) is a unique footballer. I don’t think there is anyone better at what he does – all the energy, all the action.
“I’d love to see his physical stats today as I’m sure they’d be big. The quality he showed with his finishing was very reminiscent of some of the goals he scored last year. It’s a great return to form for Miggy – he’s such an important player for our.”

While Almirio has always been held back by a lack of end product at the elite level, his work rate and passion can never be questioned. However, at the age of 30, this is the right time for a new challenge.
