Newcastle tracking £10m Premier League star who left their academy back in 2013
- EXCLUSIVE with Graeme Bailey
Newcastle have previously hosted a number of top talents in their academy.
The Magpies had the likes of Paul Gascoigne, Andy Carroll and Peter Beardsley emerge from their youth ranks in years g🅠one by – although few were produced during the Mike Ashley era as youngsters were bar🅺ely handed any opportunities.
Even now – with Newcastle sitting ninth in the Premier League under Eddie Howe – academy gradua🦩tes have been few and far between, with only Lewis Miley emerging.

While Ashley was at the helm, a then 14-year-old Marcus Tavernier was ಌreleased, a player who is now shining in the Premier League with Bournemouth.
As a result, sources have informed TBR Football that Newcastle hold an inte🌞rest in bringing the Bournemouth No.16 back to Tyneside.
Newcastle monitoring Marcus Tavernier
TBR Football understand Newcastle are admirers of tꦬwo Bournemouth players – with Antoine Semenyo also being tracked by the Magpies along with Tavernier.
The pair have been in superb form so fa🍨r in the 2024/25 campaign, helpin🏅g the Cherries sit 13th in the Premier League – having earned impressive victories over Arsenal and Manchester City.

Semenyo boastsও four goals and one assist in 12 Premier League appearances this season, while Tavernier – whose brother James was sold 🐭by Newcastle to Rangers in a £90,000 deal – has one goal and two assists in the same amount of games.
Bournemouth sources have stressed to TBR Football that they have no intention of letting any key men leave🌃 in the January transfer window, as the Cherries feel they could qualify for Europe this season, while Newcastle themselves are also doubtful about a January move happening for either Tavernier or Semenyo.
What Marcus Tavernier has previously said about Newcastle
As aforesaid, Newcastle released Tavernier – who Bournemo𝓰uth signed from Middlesbrough for in August 2022 – a🎶nd he was asked about the Magpies amid his rise to stardom in the Premier League.
As quoted by the Shields Gazette, the 25-year-old said: “I grew up in Newcastle, I lived there when I was at Middlesbrough, so I know a lot about the town and the club and all the thi🎃ngs to do with it.
When asked if he had been urged to “get one over” on the Magpies after they released him, Tavernier – who Newcastle wanted in 2022 – said: “Yea𓆉h definitely, but most m🎃y friends are Newcastle fans so it’s a bit of both at the moment.”
Will those same friends now be encouraging him to join Newcastle? Only time w𒐪ill tell, but Howe is certainly keen on bringing the Leeds-born midfielder back.
