Ajer latest
Ange Postecoglou 'respects' Kristoffer Ajer's wish to leave but the new Celtic boss has warned the Newcastle United target he will only make the 'best decision for the football club'.
Ajer agreed to stay in Glasgow last season to try and help Celtic win their 10th Scottish Premier League title in a row, but the Bhoys ended up finishing a whopping 25 points behind bitter rivals Rangers in second place.
The towering Norway international, who has been linked with the Magpies, Norwich and Bayer Leverkusen, now has his sights set on playing in one of Europe's top leagues as he enters the final year of his contract at Celtic Park.
Woodman's future
Newcastle United goalkeeper Freddie Woodman looks set to return to St James' Park for pre-season.
Talk of a move to Swansea City being agreed was played down last night by United sources and as yet there has been not bites from Arsenal on the possible swap situation involving Woodman and Joe Willock.
It's difficult to see how Woodman can stay at United next season but he could get a chance in pre-season and pull on a Newcastle jersey with a double header on July 18 against York City and Harrogate meaning four shot-stoppers could get their chance.
The game might also come too early for Euro 2020 participant Martin Dubravka.
Jones extension
Newcastle United coach Graeme Jones could be in for another boost after news emerged that Gareth Southgate could see his contract extended.
The former Luton Town manager was selected by Southgate to work with him and senior coach Steve Holland at the European Championships this summer.
Three wins so far and a last 16 clash against Germany on Tuesday night have left FA chiefs impressed with the coaching dynamic so far this summer.
News from the England camp emerged today that Southgate will stay in charge no matter what the result is against Germany at Wembley meaning he and Jones are likely to be in the dugout for the next batch of World Cup qualifiers in early autumn.
Townsend defends fans
Andros Towsend has defended the expectations of Newcastle United fans and believes the Magpies should be striving to compete in the top-half of the Premier League.
The former England international made an immediate impact during his brief stint at St James' Park after signing in January 2016.
Townsend quickly endeared himself to the Toon Army after netting four times in Rafa Benitez's doomed effort to save Newcastle from relegation.
Neville on Sancho
Gary Neville's frustration with Manchester United's Jadon Sancho transfer saga has reminded Newcastle United fans of their ongoing takeover ordeal.
The Red Devils are reportedly closing in on a blockbuster deal in the region of £80m to finally sign the former Manchester City prospect.
