Newcastle keen to make January move for Premier League forward Alan Shearer hailed ‘outstanding’

Newcastle United will be looking to rectify their issues from the summer in the upcoming January transfer window.

The 2024/25 season has not exactly gotten off to a flying start for Eddie Howe’s side with Newcastle slumped down in the bottom half of the table.

A turbulent summer in the transfer market has seemingly resulted into an underwhelming start on the pitch with the Toon failing to make any real improveไments to their squad.

Newcastle failed to sign Cr𓃲ysta💖l Palace’s Marc Guehi over the s𝓰ummer who was their mai🍒n target despite the hefty price tag.

But the Magpies may already have turned their attention towards another target from a different🐭 Premier League side ahead of January.
