"Newcastle are thinking about signings that could be made in 2026, and the January transfer window presents a good opportunity. Alexander Isak's British transfer record move to Liverpool means that there should be PSR space for additions to be sought, and one area that may be addressed is midfield. Newcastle have Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes as undisputed starters in the centre of the park, but that third spot is up for grabs."
"However, Graeme Bailey has revealed that the 23-year-old, who is also wanted by Man United and Tottenham, is unlikely to be allowed to leave when the transfer window re-opens in January. As Boro mount a serious promotion challenge, Hayden Hackney is emerging as the cornerstone of their push. However, I am told that Boro have little intention of allowing Hackney to leave in January last season they sold Emmanuel Latte-Lath, which Michael Carrick felt cost them the chance of promotion, and they don't intend on doing that again."
Alexander Isak's transfer to Liverpool should free PSR space for Newcastle to pursue additions, with January viewed as a key opportunity. Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes occupy two central midfield starting spots, leaving the third role contested. Joelinton has often filled that slot, and Jacob Ramsey arrived in the summer, but Eddie Howe could seek another option in January. Newcastle are interested in Hayden Hackney of Middlesbrough as a defensive-minded target. Middlesbrough are mounting a serious promotion challenge and are reluctant to sell Hackney after last season's sale of Emmanuel Latte-Lath. Hackney would be a more financially viable option, though Newcastle's ability to advance interest depends on potential offers and Boro's resolve.
