Newcastle United could revisit their interest in Inter Milan’s Davide Frattesi as doubts continue around Joelinton’s future. The Magpies strengthened their midfield during the summer by signing Jacob Ramsey from Aston Villa yet their reportedly late attempt to sign the Italian showed their lingering priorities.

The Magpies could have cashed in on the long serving centre-back Jamaal Lascelles but Eddie Howe has other ideas

Alexander Isak has made his debut for Liverpool, though he is yet to really make his mark as Arne Slot eases him in. Eddie Howe has shared his latest thoughts.

Wissa injured his knee whilst on international duty with DR Congo and is still awaiting his Newcastle United debut. The former Brentford man faces around another month on the sidelines and, according to his head coach, has a ‘race’ on his hands to be fit for their trip to the Amex Stadium next month.

The League One minnows head to St James' Park to provide the first test of Newcastle's cup defence after lifting the trophy back in March when Liverpool were beaten at Wembley. Howe hinted he will go strong with his line-up spoke about the Bantams in the same breath as Arsenal, who are the next Premier League visitors to St James' Park.

EDDIE Howe admits his Newcastle side are still in the process of "evolving as a team" after the summer exit of Alexander Isak. But Howe insists he isn't concerned, despite his side's struggle for goals. Newcastle managed just a single shot on target in Sunday's 0-0 draw at Bournemouth and finished the game with an xG of 0.14.

Newcastle United have reportedly switched their transfer focus to bolstering their midfield engine room in January as rumours persist over Joelinton's future, with TEAMtalk analysing why a move for a reported Inter Milan target could be Eddie Howe.
