Newcastle have already made their intentions clear this summer with the signing of Sandro Tonali, and it appears he won’t be the new boy for too long if the latest betting is to be believed.
Eddie Howe has evidently identified the middle of the park as an area that needs strengthening ahead of the Champions League campaign, splashing out in excess of £50 million to make Tonali the most expensive Italian in history. And he could soon be joined by Scott McTominay according to betting experts at your-bonus-code.com who say Newcastle are the most likely destination for a transfer at 9/4.
Admittedly, McTominay may not be the type of signing to really set the pulses racing, but his performances for Scotland provide sufficient evidence that he can flourish with an extended run and added responsibility playing in front of a passionate crowd.
If the capture of McTominay is still some way off, one player who appears far closer to making the move north is Harvey Barnes. There have been conflicting reports of late regarding Barnes’ preferred option, but the latest odds have Newcastle as huge 1/20 favourites to complete the signing of the England international, with West Ham out at 7/1.
The other area that Howe seems keen to focus on during the summer transfer window is at left-back. Dan Burn has done a fine job there but Kieran Tierney would provide a more attacking alternative and appears keen to leave Arsenal after playing second fiddle to Oleksandr Zinchenko. Counter-rumours indicate Tierney would also be open to rejoining Celtic, but Newcastle’s added financial clout and the lure of a deep run in the Champions League are expected to tip the balance.
Latest odds for selected players to join Newcastle after the summer transfer window, according to your-bonus-code.com/:
