As the transfer window slammed shut, it emerged that Newcastle United were on the cusp of securing a midfield reinforcement. The Magpies had an eventful summer transfer window in which their star player Alexander Isak left the club to join Liverpool after a prolonged transfer saga. 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 pushed ahead with a loan approach for Davide Frattesi, but he wasn’t their only target. Atletico Madrid’s Conor Gallagher was reportedly also in the mix. Transfer insider Graeme Bailey, speaking to Geordie Boot Boys, revealed that enquiries for Gallagher were active, and that Manchester United had also been involved in early-stage talks. “There were enquiries made for Davide Frattesi,” he said. “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.” Gallagher would have been an ideal player for Howe’s midfield this season. He is a player who has a brilliant work rate in the midfield, he has a habit of scoring a special goal or two at times and his experience in the Premier League would have been ideal for the Magpies. It remains to be seen if they will consider a move for him in the future but he looks like a player who could fit easily in Howe’s system at St. James’ Park. Newcastle insiders have crossed a line as report shares what they are accusing Isak of
Isak of Newcastle United: Pregršt novosti uz novog nasljeda dizajnera
Kada je prijelazni prozor završio, saznalo se da je Newcastle United na pragu osiguranja pojačanja za sredinu terena. Svilenke su imale uzbudljivo ljeto prijelaznog roka u kojem je njihova zvijezda Alexander Isak napustila klub da se pridruži Liverpoolu nakon produžene sage oko transfera. Isak je došao u Liverpool u rekordnom transferu Premier lige i to je natjeralo Ptice kormanice da naprave nove potpise na toj poziciji. Eddie Howe i njegov tim za regrutaciju su doveli napadača Nicka Woltemadea i Yoanea Wissu kako bi ojačali svoj napad. Međutim, uprkos dovođenju veznog Ramseya iz Aston Ville, razmišljali su o još jednom potpisu, posebno nakon ozljeda koje su pretrpjeli Sandro Tonalo i Joelinton protiv Liverpoola. Newcastle je krenuo naprijed sa pristupom za posudbu Davidea Frattesija, ali nije bio jedini metu. Conor Gallagher iz Atletico Madrida je također navodno bio u kombinaciji. Insider za transfere, Graeme Bailey, govoreći za Geordie Boot Boys, otkrio je da su upiti za Gallaghera bili aktivni i da je i Manchester United bio uključen u razgovore u ranoj fazi. “Bili su upiti za Davidea Frattesija,” rekao je. “Mislim da su bili upiti za nekoliko vezista, da budem iskren. Conor Gallagher bio je jedan od njih. U idealnom svijetu, savršeni prijelazni rok bi vidio Newcastle kako dovodi još jednog vezista, posebno kada je izgledalo da su Sandro Tonali i Joelinton ozbiljno ozlijeđeni. “Zastupnici Gallaghera bili su u kontaktu sa nekoliko klubova. Povezivali su ga i sa Manchester Unitedom. Bila bi to posudba, a Newcastle je bio jedan od tih klubova uključenih u fazi upita.” Gallagher bi bio idealan igrač za sredinu terena Howe-a ove sezone. On je igrač koji ima sjajan radni ritam u sredini terena, ima naviku postizanja ponekog posebnog gola i njegovo iskustvo u Premier ligi bilo bi idealno za Ptice kormanice. Ostaje da se vidi hoće li ga razmotriti za buduće poteze, ali izgleda kao igrač koji bi se lako mogao uklopiti u sistem Howe-a na St. James’ Parku. Insajderi Newcastlea su prešli granicu kako bi podijelili što optužuju Isaka.
