Newcastle: Howe could now finally bin

Contaurnalist Fabrizio Romano has dropped a hugely significant piece of Newcastle United news regarding one specific play

Who have Newcastle signed recentl

The Magpies have spent vast chunks of recent times languishing somewhere near the bottom of the Premier League table or even being relegated to the Championship, which has been unacceptable for such a huge club

Thankfully, the good times have returned to St James’ Park, however, with finances no longer an issue in the slightest, and Eddie Howe building a side that finished fourth in the league last season, qualifying for the Champions League in the proces

Not only has the manager created a strong unit, but he has also acquired the services of some top players, many of whom have become new heroes at Newcastle. The likes of new signings in recent years Nick Pope, Kieran Trippier, Sven Botman, Bruno Guimaraes and Alexander Isak have all made a big impression, among others, and you’d expect they will continue to be vital figures moving forwar

There is always going to be interest in some of those players from other big clubs, so tying down their future is absolutely essential. A new update suggests that that is very much the case with one individua

Which Newcastle player could sign a new de

Taking to X, Romano claimed that Bruno Guimaraes has agreed a contract extension with Newcastle – one that will keep him at the club for the foreseeable future and includes a release clause of approximately £100m

“EXCLUSIVE: Newcastle agree new deal with Bruno Guimaraes, here we go! It’s done — contract until June 2028. Key detail: understand the new deal will include release clause and it will be in the region of £100m. Bruno, so happy to extend as he loves the club

This is fantastic news for Newcastle, considering what a huge impact Guimaraes has made at St James’ ever since arriving from Lyon in January 2022. His arrival coincided with the Magpies becoming a force again, and his influence in the middle of the park has arguably been unrivalled at time

At 25, the Brazilian is heading into his peak years, so to tie him down to a new contract that will see him remain at Newcastle into his 30s feels every bit as important as any new signing that comes along in the approaching transfer window

Magpies legend Alan Shearer is clearly a big fan of Guimaraes, calling him “absolutely magnificent” in the past. Granted, he is arguably yet to hit top form so far this season, but he has still averaged 1.8 tackles per game in the Premier League and enjoyed a 92.3% pass completion rate in the Champions Leagu

There is always the threat that one of Europe’s biggest teams could trigger his release clause one day, following reported interest from Chelsea, assuming he keeps improving as a player and doesn’t drop off, and while losing him would be an enormous blow, it is at least nice to know that he would only be allowed to leave for a massive transfe

Wolves: Old Gold handed chance to sign “incredible”

Gary O’Neil could make a renewed approach for one of his summer targets in the January window

HIGHLIG

Wolverhampton Wanderers have a prime opportunity to sign an “incredible” striker in the January transfer window

It’s still early in the season, but Matheus Cunha has not been prolific for Wolves, while Hwang Hee-chan has made a flying start

If Wolves want to refresh their attacking options, a Serie A ace could be a solid signing given their impressive goalscoring record in top leagues

Wolverhampton Wanderers have now been handed a prime opportunity to sign an “incredible” striker in the January transfer window, according to a report

Do Wolves need to sign a strike

Wolves completed the move for Atletico Madrid’s Matheus Cunha in the last transfer window, following his initial loan spell from Atletico Madrid, but they had an otherwise quiet summer, only shelling out fees for four other new arrivals

It is still very early days, but Cunha has not been particularly prolific in the opening stages of the Premier League game, having scored just one goal in his first five games, although the Old Gold have faced tough opposition in Manchester United, Brighton and Liverpoo

However, Hwang Hee-chan has made a flying start to the campaign, having already found the back of the net three times in the top flight, so it is unclear whether Gary O’Neil will need to pursue a new forward in the January transfer windo

That said, if the manager decides he wants to refresh his attacking options, then he may have now been handed a prime opportunity to do so, with Sport Witness relaying reports from Italy, linking Wolves with a new approach for Boulaye Di

Dia was targeted by the Old Gold during the latter stages of the summer transfer window, with the Premier League side making a loan offer with an obligation to buy, though their approach was knocked back by Salernitan

After seeing the move fall through, the Salernitana striker made it clear he was not happy, and he hasn’t featured for the Serie A side ever since, initially refusing to travel back to Salerno after the international break, citing personal reason

The 26-year-old has now returned to his club, but his long-term future is seemingly in doubt, with Sky Italia reporting he is “unmotivated” in training, and there is a real risk he will not feature for Salernitana before the January transfer windo

As such, Wolves may have a renewed opportunity to sign their summer transfer target this winter, and he could be available at a lower pric

How good is Boulaye Di

It is not a great sign that the Senegalese attacker has downed tools in training, simply because he did not get the summer move he wanted, but there are indications he could be a solid signing for Wolves this January

The France-born striker has now proven himself in three of Europe’s top leagues, scoring 14 goals in 36 Ligue 1 games for Reims in the 2020/21 campaign, before going on to amass ten goal contributions in 25 games for Villarreal the following yea

However, the former Reims man has looked most impressive in Serie A, averaging just under one goal every two games for Salernitana in the Italian top flight last season, netting 16 times in 33 outin

Lauded as “incredible” by journalist Josh Bunting, Dia is a proven goalscorer at a very high level, and if Hwang’s form dries up before the January transfer window, then it will definitely be worth Wolves making a renewed approac
