Coton FC Overview

Newcastle have endured a tough summer of sales, as they comply with Profit and Sustainability Rules (PSR), but former Magpies star Shaka Hislop is among those to have been left questioning why the billions of Saudi owners are not allowed to be spent. He has, during an exclusive interview with GOAL, suggested that the Premier League needs to revise its monetary model.

Anthony Gordon has enjoyed a truly spectacular start to life at Barcelona following his blockbuster summer transfer from Newcastle United. The England international winger has not only dazzled supporters with his immediate impact on the pitch, but he has also rapidly earned the deep respect of his new team-mates behind the scenes through his grounded approach.

Barcelona reportedly turned down the chance to sign Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade during the final days of the summer transfer window. The Catalan giants opted against rescuing the struggling German international, opting instead to finalise a cut-price move for Arsenal's Gabriel Jesus. Woltemade subsequently secured a season-long loan switch to Juventus.

Manchester United legend Roy Keane has openly criticised the club's late transfer window activity, branding their eleventh-hour pursuit of defensive reinforcements as desperate. The iconic former captain also questioned the Red Devils' long-term interest in Newcastle left-back Lewis Hall, casting doubt over his defensive capabilities.
