After the most recent round of games, Newcastle United’s pursuit of a top-four finish and a spot in the UEFA Champions League is well within reach.
In a match that will go down as one of the most remarkable in recent Premier League history, Eddie Howe’s team defeated Tottenham Hotspur 6-1 at St. James’ Park to secure three points. Newcastle scored five goals in the first 20 minutes alone. There are still many transfer-related tales making headlines as the summer window draws near.
Blackburn Rovers’ 18-year-old midfielder has reportedly caught the eye of Newcastle’s Sporting Director Dan Ashworth, who is claimed to be “personally scouting” him in the EFL Championship. The North East club may also lose out on another talented young player, as West Ham has reportedly beaten them out for a Northern Irish sensation. Monday, April 24th transfer updates for Newcastle United:
Newcastle United is reportedly planning to make a move for Blackburn Rovers’ star youngster.
The Sun claims that Newcastle United’s sporting director, Dan Ashworth, is watching Blackburn Rovers’ teenage midfielder, Adam Wharton. Crystal Palace and Brighton, two of his team’s league rivals, have also expressed interest in the England youth international, and he reportedly knows him from his time at the FA.
Wharton has made 19 appearances for the first team this season at Ewood Park, where the club is vying for a promotion play-off spot and has grabbed the attention of numerous top-flight clubs. The report calls the 18-year-old Blackburn’s “most saleable asset,” therefore it’s unlikely he’ll come cheap.
West Ham will sign the “teenage sensation” despite Newcastle’s interest.
The Belfast Telegraph reports that Cliftonville’s adolescent star Sean Moore will join Premier League West Ham United this summer. The 17-year-old’s representation by the Hammers reportedly saw off competition from Newcastle United and Celtic, the Scottish champions.
Everton and Brighton, as well as EFL League One championship contenders Ipswich Town, were reportedly interested in the player with Newcastle and Celtic. West Ham allegedly settled on a sum of £170,000 plus a substantial sell-on clause and a potential increase to £500,000.
