<\/a>Newcastle to look at Watkins & Wissa if Isak leaves<\/p>\n

Newcastle will look at Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins if given encouragement that a deal can be done, according to the Daily Mail. <\/p>\n

Watkins would be available for around \u00a360m, though Newcastle would likely try and reduce that fee. <\/p>\n

While the signing could act as a replacement for Alexander Isak, the club are also still targeting Brentford forward Yoane Wissa, who is reportedly valued at \u00a350m too. <\/p>\n

<\/a>Eddie Howe admits Alexander Isak transfer saga ‘far from ideal’<\/p>\n

Eddie Howe<\/a> admits the Alexander Isak situation is \u201cfar from ideal\u201d but still hopes to see the unsettled star back in a Newcastle<\/a> shirt after confirming the club rejected an offer from Liverpool<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think from my situation, I am very much removed from everything that is happening back home,\u201d he said on the ongoing transfer saga. <\/p>\n

\u201cI was made aware there was a bid yesterday. That bid was turned down before I heard about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are people back in England dealing with the situation. I really don\u2019t know what is going to happen next, but from our perspective, we still support Alex in every way, and my wish is still that we see him in a Newcastle shirt again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Howe admitted that he only knew Isak was training at Real Sociedad\u2019s facilities through media reports. <\/p>\n

\u201cI know where he is through the media, so I think from that perspective it\u2019s difficult for me to go into any detail,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe situation is far from ideal. It is quite complex. I think that is all I have got to say.\u201d<\/p>\n

PA reports that recently-promoted Burnley are in advance talks to sign Chelsea\u2019s Armando Broja, with the 23-year-old reportedly keen to sign for the Clarets.<\/p>\n

Broja spent last season on loan at Everton but endured an injury-hampered campaign and the Toffees opted not to make the move permanent. <\/p>\n

<\/a>James Milner to wear number 20 at Brighton in memory of Diogo Jota<\/p>\n

Liverpool have retired the number 20 jersey worn by Jota in his five seasons at Anfield, three of them alongside Milner before the veteran England<\/a> midfielder moved to Brighton in the summer of 2023.<\/p>\n

\u201cOnce I heard Carlos was looking to change his number and 20 was available, I wanted to do it as a mark of respect and pay tribute to Diogo Jota,\u201d Milner said on Brighton\u2019s X channel.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Tottenham secure loan move for Bayern Munich midfielder Joao Palhinha<\/p>\n

The Guardian reports that Tottenham have agreed to sign Joao Palhinha on loan from Bayern Munich<\/a>, with an option to make the move permanent for \u00a327m. <\/p>\n

The paper also reports that the north London side will pay a loan fee of \u00a34.3m and cover the Portuguese\u2019s wages in their entirety. <\/p>\n

Palhinha joined Bayern from Fulham<\/a> last summer in a deal worth up to \u00a347.4million, but endured a difficult debut campaign in Germany.<\/p>\n

The Portugal midfielder struggled with injury problems and only made six starts in the Bundesliga when fit under Bayern boss Vincent Kompany<\/a>, which has opened the door for a temporary move back to London with Tottenham.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Liverpool make surprise decision over Alexander Isak pursuit after Newcastle bid rejected<\/p>\n

The Premier League champions believe the swiftness and clarity of Newcastle\u2019s response means it would be futile to up their club record offer for the striker.<\/p>\n

Liverpool, who had made an inquiry for the 25-year-old last month, stepped up their interest in the Newcastle top scorer as they looked to take their summer spending up towards \u00a3400m.<\/p>\n

But the Carabao Cup winners had long maintained their top scorer was not for sale and they immediately rebuffed turned Liverpool\u2019s bid down.<\/p>\n
