There are two weeks left in the summer transfer window with Newcastle chasing at least two more players. Eddie Howe has made no secret of the fact he would love to see a wide forward and striker walk through the doors at Newcastle's training centre, and there may also be outbound movement among the squad too before deadline day ends.
Amanda Staveley and Mehrdad Ghodoussi's appearance at Stamford Bridge on Sunday has increased speculation that United are planning moves for a clutch of Chelsea players who could leave West London before 2 September. Among them Christian Pulisic, Callum Hudson-Odoi, Armando Broja and Conor Gallagher.
Elsewhere, significant movement in a deal for Joao Pedro has been made this week with Newcastle submitting an opening bid of £20m plus £3m add-ons for Watford's Brazilian forward Joao Pedro. That offer has been rejected, but United are expected to return to the table and try and land the 20-year-old who is "mystified" by the transfer block.
