Newcastle United spent the summer refusing to entertain the prospect of losing Lewis Hall, and the club is now moving to strengthen its position further as interest in the left-back continues.

Newcastle Are Unbeaten. One Number Says the Defense Still Needs Work
Five points from three games, no defeats, and a spot inside the top half of the table — on the surface, Newcastle’s start to the Jaissle era looks perfectly respectable. Then you look at one specific number: 61. That’s how many shots Newcastle have faced through three Premier League matches, more than any other team […]
Newcastle Chief Reveals Magpies’ True Stance on Bruno Guimaraes Transfer to Arsenal
Newcastle United emerged from one of the most dramatic summers in its recent history with a younger squad, a new head coach and a new recruiting strategy.

Three Games In: A Closer Look at Newcastle’s Start to the Season
Five points from three games. Six goals scored. Still unbeaten. If the football gods had offered us this when Bruno was heading out the door, we would probably all have snapped their hand off. There are plenty of reasons for Newcastle supporters to be reasonably happy with the opening weeks of the Premier League season. […]
Newcastle Announces Season-Long Loan Exit for Teenage Defender
Newcastle United keeps finding pathways to developing its most promising youngsters, with another player leaving St. James’ Park temporarily in search of regular senior football.

Newcastle Tried Stunning Swap Deal for €100 Million Bundesliga Midfielder: Report

The Magpies had identified Borussia Dortmund star Felix Nmecha as a […]
Newcastle 2-2 Bournemouth — Player Ratings: Nearly Cherry-picked at St. James’ Park
Strange there was optimism on Tyneside last week, given the hoodoo Bournemouth have over Newcastle United. 0-4-4 in the last eight games against the Bees going in. Yes, all of those with ex-AFCB manager Eddie Howe on the Magpies’ touchline. In fact, Howe only won two against his former team in 13 matches while at […]
Newcastle Keep Finding Ways Not to Lose. That’s Not Quite the Same as Winning
Three games into Matthias Jaissle’s first Premier League season, Newcastle are unbeaten — a draw, a win, and another draw, five points collected without a single defeat. On paper that’s a solid start for a squad that changed as dramatically as this one did over the summer. Look closer at how each of those results […]
PIF Doesn’t Just Want to Fund Newcastle, It Wants Newcastle to Fund Itself
When PIF led the £305 million takeover of Newcastle United in 2021, most attention naturally fell on the extraordinary wealth of the club’s new owners. Five years later, perhaps the more interesting question is not how much money PIF can put into Newcastle, but how much value they can create without having to. Around £300 […]

Newcastle’s £15 Million Decision Revealed After Premier League Transfer Deadline
Newcastle United has made its stance on Jacob Murphy increasingly clear, rejecting another opportunity to cash in on the veteran winger despite his contract entering its final year.

Newcastle’s New £190 Million Training Ground Plans Leaked in First Images

Newcastle’s Manager Sends Clear Lewis Hall Message After Man United Transfer Interest

Former EPL Manager Issues Bold Lewis Miley Take After £100M Sandro Tonali Sale
Newcastle United’s midfield underwent a dramatic transformation this summer following the £100 million (€115 million) departure of Sandro Tonali to Tottenham Hotspur, but the early signs under Matthias Jaissle have been surprisingly encouraging. Lewis Miley has been central to that transition, starting Newcastle’s opening two Premier League games before coming face-to-face with Tonali in Saturday’s […]
Newcastle Gets Worrying William Osula Injury Update Before Bournemouth Game
Newcastle United has coped impressively with an early collection of injuries under Matthias Jaissle, but the club could now be without one of its attacking options for considerably longer than initially anticipated.

Joe Willock’s Newcastle Future Takes Late Twist After Premier League Deadline
Newcastle United didn’t seize the opportunity to sell Joe Willock before the Premier League transfer window closed on Tuesday, but the midfielder’s summer transfer saga might not have reached its conclusion just yet.
