It's no secret that the Reds are keen to imporive their midfield, with Jude Bellingham heavily linked in the press of late.However, they did loan Arthur Melo in the summer ot help solve the issue in the short term but injuyr has prevented hom from making an impact so far.Now, though, <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1602022564116979712" target="_self">Fabrizio</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/FabrizioRomano/status/1602022564116979712" target="_blank">Romano</a> has reported that he could be back 'within the end of the month'.

According to The Sunday Mirror (via <a href="https://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2022/12/11/newcastle-united-nabil-fekir-james-maddison/" target="_blank">HITC</a>), Newcastle United may well switch their focus to Nabil Fekir if James Maddison can’t be signed from Leicester City.The Real Betis midfielder turns 30 next summer and will presumably be easier to sign than his English counterpart.

Something to keep an eye on, for sure.
