It goes without saying that 2020 was a turbulent year for football and every team on the planet. However, by the summertime things began to go back to this new normal, even if a little.

Newcastle United made quite a few important signings this summer. The team was brought into connection with great players from Europe over the summer transfer window. Some of these players include Ollie Watkins, and Boubakary Soumare. So a lot was expected for the 2020-21 season.

The last Premier League season was not great but not terrible for the Magpies. They finished 13th, and this only gave them the additional boost for wanting more from the next season.

With Yoshinori Muto and Florian Lejeune out on the loan, Steve Bruce welcomed the much-needed forward Callum Wilson. Also, the fans rejoiced after the signing of Jamal Lewis, Mark Gillespie, Ryan Fraser, and Jeff Hendrick.

But, even though the transfer window is shut, there are still a couple of players whose transfer to Newcastle Untied is anticipated.

Dusan Vlahovic

We can all agree that most of the 20-year olds spend their college days relaxing in a different way. While most students aim to receive a bonus of 30 free spins and have fun with online entertainment, there are those who have other, much higher aspirations. Student days can be rough and they require a lot of sacrifices. That’s why most young, professional players don’t lead a normal college life because they dedicate all of their time to sports. Dusan Vlahovic is one such 20-year old.

The young Fiorentina striker from Belgrade, Serbia, has caught the attention of the Magpies before, even before they signed with Callum Wilson, according to Italian media. There were different Premier League clubs that were interested in Vlahovic, and among them was Newcastle United. 

According to different sources, the young striker has a price of 30 million pounds, even if he scored only eight goals in the last season of Serie A.

Matthias Phaeton

Yet another aspiring 20-year old, who has joined Guingamp in 2018. In the past two years, Phaeton has demonstrated to be a worthy addition to this team. Unlike most of the people his age who are looking for different ways for online entertainment, Matthias has succeeded to get the attention of Newcastle United according to the French Football news. Playing the centre-forward, Phaeton has managed to score two goals in the on-going season.

As to some sources, the Magpies have made the first step, but the question remains as to how serious United is in sealing the deal with Phaeton. However, other sources claim the opposite. That the United has considered many young players from France, one of them being Phaeton, but that no initial contact was made from the club’s part.

Wylan Cyprien

One of the most difficult tasks during the transfer window is outbidding other clubs. Finding the right player for the right position is difficult, and keeping it a secret can be even harder. When you discover gold, you hardly want other explorers to come and get it. And this is the current situation with Wylan Cyprien.

Wylan Jean-Claude Cyprien is a Parma midfielder currently on loan from Nice. The 25-year old plays for Serie. He made his debut for the first team of the Lens youth academy in 2012. Cyprien was crucial for promoting Lens to League 1.

GGFN and L’Eqipue say that the Magpies have a strong interest in Cyprien. However, they are not the only ones. According to some sources, Bordeaux has their eyes on the midfielder from Nice and are considering him as the new addition to their team.

The latest information claim that Nice has already determined a price for Wylan, and it’s just over 9 million pounds. The team willing to offer this much can be blessed with Cyprien’s incredible skills. Moreover, it’s rumoured that Bordeaux is currently leading in this bidding war.

To Sum It Up

But nothing is set in stone just yet. If the recent headlines have taught us anything, it’s that news is pouring in as we speak (or write).

After the latest news that midfielder Raphael Holzhauser, who has scored 9 goals in just 12 games, was being eyed by Newcastle United, it’s obvious that we can expect that many events are beginning to unravel.

Therefore, it’s safe to say that there will be more news on this front sooner than we think.
