The latest Newcastle United transfer news and gossip including updates on Alexander Isak, Nicolas Jackson, Yoane Wissa and many more

Described as “ one of the best 9s in the world ” by Statman Dave, Watkins has proven time and time again his expertise as a Premier League frontman, and that could remain so with a one-way trip to Tyneside at this later stage of his career, leading the line as Isak's replacement, should that come to pass.

Wayne Rooney has blasted the behaviour of Yoane Wissa as he tries to force a move from Brentford to Newcastle United this summer.

Yoane Wissa could be set for a stunning return to action for Brentford if their latest training footage is anything to go by. It comes after Newcastle saw an improved offer for the forward

Newcastle are under pressure to sign a new striker this summer. Callum Wilson was released following the expiration of his contract, but Eddie Howe’s side were forced to start the season without a recognised centre forward after Isak began his own protest over his desired move to Liverpool.

Newcastle turn to fresh attacking options as Wissa deal stalls, with Bayern Munich now rivaling them in the transfer race.
