That’s all for now, folks. We’ll bid you farewell on a day when transfer news, or the ongoing conspicuous absence of any transfer news worth talking about, was completely overshadowed by the shock news that Jurgen Klopp will leave Liverpool at the end of the season. Have a great weekend.
Newcastle United: Joelinton may have played his last game for the club, according to his manager Eddie Howe. The Brazil midfielder, who was originally signed as a striker, will be sidelined until May after undergpoing surgery on a thigh injury.
With just 18 months left on his contract, Newcastle could be forced to sell the laughing stock-turned-firm fan favourite in order to comply with the Premier League’s Profit and Sustainability rules.
“He has 18 months left on his contract so it’s a possibility he’ll be sold in the summer,” said Howe. “I’m not a fortune teller but it’s a possibility. I hope that’s not the case. I want him to stay. I love him as a person and player but before a player signs a contract he has to be happy with everything and we are not there yet.”
