Newcastle transfer gossip as Magpies to 'listen to offers' for Jamaal Lascelles, target to leave

Here are your latest Newcastle United transfer rumours for Saturday, November 5.

Jamaal Lascelles

The Football Insider have claimed that Newcastle will listen to offers for club captain Jamaal Lascelles. The 28-year-old has slipped down the pecking order and is reportedly not viewed as part of the club's long-term plans.

He has started only once in the Premier League this term and has amassed just 174 minutes of action across all competitions.

Eddie Howe has played the same back-four in the last six games, with Fabian Schar, Sven Botman and Dan Burn all ahead of Lascelles in the pecking order.

Lascelles joined Newcastle from Nottingham Forest in August 2014 but returned to Forest on loan for the following campaign. He has amassed 219 appearances for Newcastle in all competitions and was named the club's Player of the Month in 2017-18.

Gustav Isaksen

FC Midtjylland CEO Claus Steinlein has revealed that Newcastle target Gustav Isaksen is set to leave the three-time Danish league champions next summer.

Isaksen has attracted interest from a number of clubs, including Newcastle, Arsenal, West Ham United and AC Milan.

The 21-year-old has notched seven goals and three assists in 24 matches in all competitions and is valued at £17 million.

Steinlein told Danish outlet Tipsbladet: "We have made an agreement with Gustav, his family and agent that he will stay until the summer, and then we will sell.

"However, the offer may become too large, and I fear that it will. I was made aware a week ago that the biggest sale in the Superliga is €20 million, and if he has to leave, we have to beat it.

“It is realistic when you look at what has happened in the last week, and you know which clubs are looking at him. It could well be really exciting, and otherwise he will have to stay at FC Midtjylland for half a year more.”

“It’s everything from clubs in England and Italy that have an interest in him, and there were also many scouts in the stadium for the match who spoke other languages than Danish and Bornholmian.”

“There are no concrete proposals, but there is a lot of talk about him. We will definitely have to decide whether he should be sold or not.”

Nabil Fekir

Newcastle are 'preparing' a £45 million offer for Real Betis attacking midfielder Nabil Fekir, according to French publication Fichajes.

The report adds that a deal in January appears unlikely, but reveals that the Magpies want to convince Fekir to move to the Premier League after failing to sign him in the summer.

Arsenal and West Ham are also monitoring the Frenchman. Fekir joined Betis from Lyon for £17.7 million in 2019 and has registered 25 goals and 25 assists in 128 appearances in all competitions for the Spaniards.

Fekir previously scored 69 times in 193 appearances for Lyon and lifted the World Cup with France in 2018.
