Newcastle United transfer news as Magpies learn how much Brighton's Moises Caicedo would cost

Here are your Newcastle United transfer rumours on Monday, 5 December.

Newcastle United target Moises Caicedo's price tag revealed

Brighton & Hove Albion star Moises Caicedo will reportedly cost between £60 to £70m for any club trying to tempt the Ecuadorian away from the Amex.

The Sun's Alan Nixon reports the Seagulls midfielder is wanted by both Newcastle United and Manchester United.

Given Caicedo joined Brighton back in Feburary 2021 for just £3.6m, the markup price the Seagulls are now quoting seems astronomical.

However, the 21-year-old is a supreme talent. Caicedo has been one of Brighton's top performers this season and looks like a Premier League stalwart already.

With Newcastle's sporting director Dan Ashworth more than familar with Caicedo's game, it will be interesting to see whether the Magpies look to pursue the Ecuadorian in the future.

Newcastle United unlikely to sell forward Chris Wood despite Leeds United interest

Newcastle United are reportedly keen on keeping striker Chris Wood for the remainder of the season despite recent interest from his former side Leeds United.

Wood arrived on Tyneside in January from Burnley, playing a host of games last term during Callum Wilson's injury absence.

But with the summer arrival of Alexander Isak, and Wilson's excellent form this season, Wood has seen his chances at St James' Park limited mostly to minutes off the bench.

Leeds are said to be keen on re-signing Wood in January, who cost Newcastle £25m in the last winter transfer window.

However, the Telegraph claim Newcastle do not want to lose Wood in January, with the striker keen to remain at St James' Park.

They state Newcastle are happy with Wood's performances off the bench whilst also noting that Wood is a popular figure in the Magpies dressing room.
