"Newcastle United and Leeds United could achieve their respective transfer goals by striking an agreement for one of the Magpies' fringe players this month, or later this year. Newcastle are aiming to qualify for Champions League football once again this season and sit two points off fifth place in the Premier League table after back-to-back wins over Burnley and Crystal Palace."
"As a result, the club are in the market to supplement Eddie Howe's squad this month, seeking to push on and make safe their place in the top half of the table. January's schedule sees Newcastle contest eight matches across four competitions, which will stress-test Howe's squad to the max.

"The team face Manchester City (Carabao Cup semi-final first leg), PSV Eindhoven and Paris Saint Germain (UEFA Champions League), as well as high-flying Aston Villa in the league before February begins, therefore early additions in the window could prove crucial. As with most Premier League sides, Newcastle's Profitability and Sustainability (PSR) position would be greatly improved by player sales, particularly those who are contributing little to the team at present."
Newcastle aim to qualify for Champions League football this season and sit two points off fifth after back-to-back wins over Burnley and Crystal Palace. The club have been inconsistent but remain in contention for European qualification. Newcastle seek January additions to strengthen Eddie Howe's squad and make their top-half position safe, with eight matches across four competitions creating a demanding schedule. Sales of fringe players would improve Newcastle's Profitability and Sustainability (PSR) position. Joe Willock has been a regular substitute but rarely starts and represents a potential sale. Leeds have made a good start to 2025/26 and sit several points clear of the relegation zone at halfway.
