Deadline day is finally upon us, and it promises to be a busy day for Newcastle United on two fronts. Not only is the club competing in the transfer window, but there’s also the small matter of a Carabao Cup semi-final to think about too.
Nottingham Forest’s move for Jonjo Shelvey means a midfielder is top of the wishlist for United before the deadline shuts. Sander Berge, the towering Sheffield United man, is a name that’s been linked with a move to Tyneside, as has Chelsea playmaker Conor Gallagher.
Whatever business Newcastle do on Tuesday, they’ll have get it done under the backdrop of a deciding tie with Southampton. United take a narrow lead into the second leg at St. James’ Park tonight, with extra time and penalties a possibility should the Saints overturn the deficit.
