Newcastle United transfer rumours as Magpies make Fulham ace 'top target' amid Man City interest

Here are your Newcastle United transfer rumours for Sunday, February 19.

Newcastle United make Fulham's Antonee Robinson 'top target' this summer

Newcastle are reportedly lining up Robinson as their transfer priority in the summer window, according to Football Insider. They report that the Magpies are plotting a move for the left-back as an attacking option to support Dan Burn.

It is thought that Newcastle have sent scouts to watch the 25-year-old this season and that Eddie Howe has heard glowing reviews from the reports fed back to him. However, the Tyneside club are not the only side believed to be eyeing up a move for the American defender.

It is understood that Manchester City are also set to to rival Newcastle for Robinson's signature this summer. Elsewhere in Europe, both AC and Inter Milan are rumoured to be looking to tempt the left-back to Serie A - as the Cottagers try to fend off interest in their star, who is under contract until 2024.

Newcastle United 'ready to do anything' to sign Adrien Rabiot

Reports have linked the Magpies with a move for the Juventus midfielder for a while, but now, Italian outlet Tutto Juve claim that Howe's side are ready to go all-in for the 27-year-old.

Rabiot is out of contract with the Serie A giants this summer and has previously refused to rule out a move to the Premier League. It is understood that Newcastle are willing to offer up to €10million (£8.9m) per year - plus bonuses - in order to secure the Frenchman's services.

The former Paris Saint-Germain man has registered 25 appearances this term, finding the back of the net on six occasions and providing two assists across all competitions this season. Although a mouth-watering wage may be required to sign Rabiot, a lack of transfer fee would certainly help offset any financial concerns.
