"I think there were enquiries made for a few midfielders, to be honest. Conor Gallagher was one. In an ideal world, the perfect transfer window would have seen Newcastle bring another midfielder in, especially when it looked like Sandro Tonali and Joelinton were seriously injured. Gallagher's representatives were touching base with a few clubs. He was linked to Manchester United as well. It would have been a loan deal, and Newcastle were one of those sides involved at the enquiry stage."
"Isak joined Liverpool in a Premier League record move and that forced the Magpies to make new signings in that position. Eddie Howe and his recruitment team signed striker Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa to strengthen their attack. However, despite the signing of midfielder Ramsey from Aston Villa, they considered another signing, particularly after the injuries suffered by Sandro Tonalo and Joelinton against Liverpool."
Newcastle United lost striker Alexander Isak to Liverpool in a Premier League record transfer and responded by signing forwards Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa. The club also signed midfielder Ramsey from Aston Villa but searched for another midfield option after Sandro Tonali and Joelinton suffered injuries against Liverpool. Newcastle made enquiries for Davide Frattesi and pursued a loan approach for Atletico Madrid's Conor Gallagher, with Gallagher's representatives contacting several clubs and Manchester United showing early interest. The potential move for Gallagher was considered a loan, and Eddie Howe valued Gallagher's work rate and occasional spectacular goals.
