Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur ‘not happy’ as Manchester City close in on new January signing
TBR Football can exclusively reveal that Newcastle United are far from happy about the nature of one of their transfer negotiations.
Eddie Howe’s side seem to be looking to bolster their squad this month, as TBR Football recently uncovered that signing Evan Ferguson on loan interests Newcastle. Similarly, Newcastle admire Igor Jesus as a striker option as well, as reported by TBR Football.
At the end of last year, TBR Football also confirmed Newcastle opened talks to sign Abdukodir Khusanov.
Newcastle and Tottenham unhappy as Lens double Man City-bound Abdukodir Khusanov’s asking price
TBR Football’s chief correspondent Graeme Bailey can reveal that Newcastle as well as Tottenham Hotspur are “not happy” that RC Lens doubled Khusanov’s asking price from £16.6 million tﷺo £33.3 million plus add-ons — doubling their fee demands✨.
TBR Football understands that Lens would have happily taken a £16.6 million fee and proceed ꦺto sanctioning the 20-year-old’s sale.
The French club’s latest fee demands have ruled out both Newcastle and Tottenham out of the race to sign him, who are also dissatisfied by their sudden to decision to hike up their fee demands — TBR Football can now confirm.
Newcastle as well as Tott🍨enham were worried about Manc♍hester City eyeing Khusanov as TBR Football discovered that Pep Guardiola’s side had stepped up their eꦡfforts to sign him.
As Khusanov’s exit from Lens was confirmed by the club’s managing director Pierre Dreossi recently, TBR Football can now report that City have been discussing a prospective deal with the Ligue 1 side, who fir𒉰st asked about him in Dece🐻mber.
Newcastle and Tottenham have been tracking Abdukodir Khusanov for months
TBR Football understands Real Madrid, Juventus and Bayern Munich all enquired about the youngster in January but Tottenham and Newcastle were watching Khusanov alongside Chelsea, Crystal Palace, Brighton and Brentford as far as back in𝄹 October.
Newcastle’s defending against Arsenal was praised while Tottenham have shipped as many as 30 goals in the Pre💜mier League this season.
As a result, the Magpies and Spurs could have done with Khusanov’s quality, who looks like he is Manchester City-bound now.
