The Magpies have had a frustrating transfer window and since the arrival of Chris Wood in the second week of January, they have struggled to bring in more players.

 

Moves for Sven Botman and Diego Carlos had to be abandoned as they felt Lille and Sevilla were demanding too much money for the defenders.

 

 

Newcastle have ended their interest in Jesse Lingard as well because of Manchester United’s exorbitant demands for a six-month loan deal.

 

But it has been claimed that Newcastle are still aiming to bring in three more players before the end of the window on Monday night.

 

 

One of those players is expected to be Bruno Guimaraes after Newcastle managed to agree on a deal worth €50m with Lyon for signature.

 

The Brazilian will soon undergo a medical and Newcastle have offered to quadruple his current salary.

 

 

Eddie Howe remains on the lookout for defenders with Newcastle expected to table a second offer for Brighton’s Dan Burn.

 

The Newcastle manager also wants to bring in one more forward before Monday’s transfer deadline.
