Newcastle United headlines as Toon fans rate Miguel Almiron and Bruno Guimaraes as top season stars

Here are your Newcastle United evening headlines on Saturday, 26 November.

Supporters rate every Newcastle United player as Miguel Almiron and Bruno Guimaraes lead the way

"I am so excited at the prospect of playing at St. James' Park," Bailes told Newcastle's official club website.

"It was something that has been talked about since I signed in the summer and the fact it's a couple of days away is a bit surreal."

Who is scout Paul Midgley amid talk of key Newcastle United recruitment decision

Newcastle United's off-field transformation is reportedly set to continue with the news the Magpies are said to be appointing Manchester City scout Paul Midgley as their head of youth recruitment.

Following the takeover of the club back in October 2021, the Magpies have made a significant effort to improve the quality of their youth team set-up, which included making multiple signings for the U21s and U18 this past summer.

While there has yet to be any official confirmation from Newcastle over Midgley's hire, it would certainly be an interesting appointment.
