The most recent Newcastle United transfer digest is provided below.

Phillips most recent
According to the Northern Echo, the Magpies are “prepared to make a quick January move” for Kalvin Phillips. Since leaving Leeds United in the summer of 2022, the England international has started just twice in the Premier League for the league champions.

Due to Rodri’s recent suspension, Phillips was not elevated to the starting lineup; instead, Pep Guardiola chose academy graduate Rico Lewis. Guardiola gave the 27-year-old a rare chance to play in City’s Carabao Cup third-round loss at St. James’ Park last month.

According to the article, Eddie Howe wants to bolster defensive midfield during the upcoming transfer window despite the club not being anticipated to be very active in bringing in new players. After earlier declining the chance to depart during the summer, Phillips is reportedly exploring his options, according to a number of publications.

Ashworth’s passion

Once the takeover is approved, Sir Jim Ratcliffe may be interested in enticing Dan Ashworth to Manchester United. Newcastle, though, is reportedly prepared to confront any offer from the Red Devils for its sporting director with ‘fierce resistance’.

The proprietors of the Magpies were patient in their pursuit of Ashworth, who spent a considerable amount of time on gardening leave before departing Brighton. Garang Kuol and Yankuba Minteh are two of the most well-known players the club has already hired under the sporting director’s blueprint for pursuing “emerging talent.”
