Newcastle United’s summer transfer window certainly hasn’t gone to plan so far as the club have failed to bring in any new attacking reinforcements ahead of the upcoming season - and their latest attempt to sign Chelsea forward Timo Werner is now also expected to crumble.
The Blues striker had been tipped for a season-long loan switch to the Magpies, but now looks set to perform a transfer U-turn in favour of a return to Germany, as Eddie Howe prepares to add him to a growing list of failed deals this summer.
However, Newcastle aren’t prepared to give up and are now being back to sign Blues winger Callum Hudson-Odoi as they plan another fresh raid.
