Newcastle United have secured £130m for Alexander Isak and have agreed to spend upwards of £50m of that on Yoane Wissa.
Will Osula could also be set for a shock permanent exit, with Sky Sports revealing a £28.5m bid from Frankfurt, while The Mail’s Craig Hope claims a £30m switch to the Bundesliga club is close to completion.
However, two more exits could also be announced ahead of tonight’s 7pm deadline, with under-21 star Trevan Sanusi and forgotten man Harrison Ashby in line to depart on loan.
Starting with Ashby, it’s our understanding that the 23-year-old full-back is set to leave the club on another loan deal before tonight’s 7pm deadline.
Stoke City are showing interest in the right-back, who featured regularly over pre-season, and could offer the former West Ham talent his third loan spell in the second tier in three years after stints at QPR (2024/25) and Swansea (2023/24).
As for Sanusi, the 18-year-old winger has shone in the Premier League 2 and will be allowed to leave on loan today if the right offer arrives to help him take that first major step into senior football.
Last week, Ligue 1 sides Le Havre and Auxerre were both linked with loan moves for the England youth international, but we can reveal that French side Lorient are also showing interest alongside a number of EFL clubs.
Was all a bit pointless now in the end but got a bit more towards the asking price. Maybe the whole reaction in general from not just NUFC but people on either side might deter others because it’s toxic to everyone’s image at the end of the day. Cutting it very fine to sign someone though

With Woltemade and Wissa in they won’t need to get another striker in now. In fact I would go so far to say that the Isak and Osula deals were only sanctioned because the Wissa deal got done.
