Newcastle were branded "idiots" for agreeing to pay £69 million ($93m) to sign Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart as former Bayern Munich chairman Karl-Heinz Rummenigge sarcastically congratulated their German rivals for the sale.

Newcastle striker Nick Woltemade has revealed a heated on-field exchange with Arsenal defender Gabriel after what he described as a high elbow to the face during their 2-1 defeat at St James' Park.

Arsenal were denied a penalty in their 2-1 win at Newcastle as Viktor Gyokeres was brought down by goalkeeper Nick Pope, with VAR controversially advising to overturn the on-field decision.

Fans are now questioning consistency in Premier League officiating.
Arsenal's clash with Newcastle United turned ugly on Sunday as Mikel Arteta was forced to restrain one of his coaching staff who clashed with Joelinton at full-time.

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta was in high spirits at full-time after his Arsenal side came from behind late on to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. Goals from Mikel Merino and Gabriel proved the difference, with the Gunners boss crediting Newcastle United for how tough they made it for his side throughout the game. The Magpies led for over 50 minutes before ultimately finding themselves on the end of a late Gunners comeback, inspired by changes made by Arteta in the second period.
Newcastle United boss Eddie Howe admitted that Tino Livramento will face a lengthy lay-off after being stretchered off the pitch against Arsenal on Sunday. A misguided challenge from William Saliba saw the English full-back land awkwardly on the ground, after which he received medical attention, before being stretchered off in the 77th minute.
Arsenal stole a massive comeback victory deep in stoppage time at St James' Park as Gabriel rose highest to head home a 96th minute winner and close the gap on leaders Liverpool, in a massive statement early on in this season's title race.

Eddie Howe is putting his Newcastle players through post-game training sessions to bolster their attacking output, as the Magpies seek to replace the goalscoring prowess of Alexander Isak.

William Osula’s deadline day move to Eintracht Frankfurt collapsed at the last moment after Newcastle United's Saudi owners intervened when the Bundesliga side walked back on a deal that was virtually agreed.

Manchester United great Rio Ferdinand has put his cards on the table, ranking the Premier League’s top defenders in a no-nonsense knockout showdown, and his verdicts will spark plenty of debate.

Hugo Ekitike claims to feel no pressure from his £79 million ($107m) transfer fee at Liverpool, with the French forward saying “I don’t care” when asked about the price tag hanging around his neck.

Nick Woltemade has delivered a new twist in Newcastle's rivalry with Liverpool, as the German striker considers a player at Anfield to be "one of the best" that he has "ever played with". The star in question is Florian Wirtz, who now lines up on Merseyside alongside Alexander Isak - who caused quite a stir when leaving St James' Park in the summer of 2025.
Barcelona’s midfield brilliance stole the spotlight in their 2-1 Champions League win over Newcastle, with Pedri and Frenkie de Jong running the show.

Newcastle United promised so much on their return to the Champions League but Marcus Rashford's moments of magic secured Barcelona a hard-fought 2-1 win.

Rafael Benitez claims that Newcastle United are "missing" Alexander Isak already following his big-money move to Liverpool. After going on strike and trying to force a St James' Park exit, the Sweden international finally joined the Reds for a British record fee of £125 million ($169m) on transfer deadline day. Now, the Spaniard, who managed both sides, says Isak's departure is a big loss for the Magpies.
