Dele Alli and Gareth Bale are among Newcastle United’s January transfer targets, according to reports in Spain.
It doesn’t take much investigative journalism to predict that Newcastle – having finally been taken over by a Saudi Arabia-backed consortium – are probably going to spend big in the January window and next summer.
And it seems a couple of players with Tottenham connections could be on the club’s shortlist.
Spanish outlet Sport claims Newcastle are keen on Alli, though the report doesn’t go into much more detail on the Spurs midfielder.
Alli had been featuring regularly this season before a couple of disappointing performances saw him dropped from the starting line-up for the recent victory over Aston Villa – could that mean he is open to an exit?
Meanwhile, Newcastle are thought to be interested in Bale, who spent last season on loan Tottenham and is out of contract at Real Madrid next summer.
Sport’s story says Real could accept an offer in the region of €30 million for Bale in January – whether Newcastle are willing to pay that much remains to be seen.
ANYONE GOING TO NEWCASTLE AT THE MOMENT WOULD ONLY BE GOING FOR THE MONEY?IF YOU WANT TROPHYS YOU WILL NOT GET THEM STRAIGHT AWAY.THEN AGAIN,WILL THEY WANT TO PLAY FOR NEWCASTLE AT ALL.I THINK THEY ARE ABOUT TO BE WHITE ANTED.MANAGERS COMING OUT OF THE WOODWORK FIRST BEFORE THEIR PLAYERS KNOW ABOUT IT.THE BIG MONEY OF THE OWNERS BLINDING THEM TO REALITY.I THINK PLAYERS WILL GO TO OTHER CLUBS BEFORE NEWCASTLE.THEN AGAIN,WHAT PLAYERS ARE ACTUALLY AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME.THE SO CALLED REPORTERS WILL BE DROOLING WITH INSINUATIONS ABOUT WHO IS GOING WHERE.THE USUAL LIES AND RUMORS WILL BE ASTOUNDING,ALL PRETENDING TO KNOW WHO IS GOING AND WHO MIGHT,AND WHO IS NOT.LET THE INNUENDO BEGIN.
SOMEONE SAID HARRY KANE MIGHT GO.RUBBISH.HE WANTS TO WIN SOMETHING NOW.WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO WIN STRAIGHT AWAY?IT TAKES TIME TO BUILD A TEAM.A TEAM OF ALL STARS DO NOT GUARANTEE INSTANT SUCCESS.I WISH NEWCASTLE WELL.BUT THIS MONEY THEY HAVE BEHIND THEM MIGHT NOT BE WHAT THEY WANT.THEY WANT A WINNING TEAM.GOOD LUCK WITH THAT.THE ACTUAL OWNERS COULD BE A PROBLEM FOR THEM.
Well you say that but I remember CHELSEA bought the league not that I would look at them but the proof is there for all to see.!!!!!
So far they are linked to a number of our players. Not all bad news, let’s take advantage of their new found wealth. Because they want to make an impact we may get more for our players than selling to others. Deli for example, I think it is time our club realised he is no use to us. To self absorbed and not a team player. Currently a squad player at best and can’t see his ego allowing him to improve, £30 mill for a known Premier’name’. Win,win I would say. Maybe Winks, and probably our best bet for getting our asking price for Kane. All of these need to be moved on from Spurs, particularly the Kane circus!!!
