Another major weekend of Premier League action is on the way, with vital matches in the fight for the Champions League places and the struggle to escape relegation are due to take place.

Nonetheless, the gossip mill is still spinning and lots of transfer news tales are generating headlines.

In other news, United are rumored to be preparing a “big offer” for an Italian-based defender. The following are the most recent Newcastle United transfer news articles from Wednesday, April 19:
According to TalkSPORT and plinko gambling game website, Southampton midfielder James Ward-Prowse has been told he may leave the club this summer if they get demoted from the Premier League. Newcastle United, as well as Saturday’s opponents Tottenham Hotspur and West Ham United, have all been prominently connected with the Saints captain.
The England international midfielder has been a key member of the St Marys squad for several seasons, but with the club sitting bottom of the table and five points away from safety, it appears like they will be relegated to the EFL Championship next season. Ward-Prowese, 28, has appeared in 38 games for the Saints this season, scoring nine goals.
Newcastle United are preparing a “super offer” for defender
According to HITC, Newcastle United has been highly connected with Torino defender Perr Schuurs in recent days. The story cites multiple stories from the UK and Italy and suggests that the Magpies are prepared to give €35 million (about £31 million) to sign the Netherlands youth international this summer.
Despite what has been termed as a “great offer” for the 23-year-old former Ajax player, the Serie A club is allegedly willing to hang out for a cost in the €40 million to €50 million range. Yet, Newcastle is said to be unconcerned with value.
