EXCLUSIVE: Newcastle to keep star trio as Howe eyes David and Mbeumo

EXCLUSIVE: Newcastle to keep star trio as Howe eyes David and Mbeumo

Newcastle are admirers of Jonathan David and have made an enquiry to Lille over the conditions of the attacker, FootballTransfers has been told.

The striker has been linked with a Premier League switch and there is an appreciation of his versatility by the club’s hierarchy but, like Chelsea, no further contact has been made since. Newcastle are now confident in keeping their trident of stars ahead of the new season. Alexander Isak, Bruno Guimaraes, and Anthony Gordon are looking ahead to another campaign at St James’ Park despite being the subject of interest by several elite sides.

Manchester City are still fans of Guimaraes but it will take a substantial offer for Newcastle to sell to the Premier League champions this summer, while we understand the midfielder, who is open to a move to the Etihad, won’t push for one.

Newcastle are hopeful of gaining entry to the Champions League and know that failing to do so could result in seeing star names depart next year.

The club are in search of a right winger, with Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo, Crysencio Summerville of Leeds, and Wolves man Pedro Neto liked. However, no contact has been made with either player’s camp as of yet.
