All of the latest Newcastle United transfer headlines including reports on Borussia Dortmund attacking midfielder Julian Brandt and Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen
Julian Brandt missed out on the trip to Tyneside last month, but netted the second as Borussia Dortmund eased to a second straight victory over the Magpies. The Germany international led the counter-attack and drilled his low effort beyond Nick Pope to leave Newcastle’s hopes of progressing in the Champions League hanging by a thread.
According to the Daily Mirror, the show appeared to be validation for both Eddie Howe and the coaching staff regarding the 27-year-old’s quality. The Magpies’ title claim, along with Arsenal’s, is poised to put Dortmund’s determination for the offensive midfielder, who recently signed a contract extension pledging his future until 2026, to the test.
Liverpool previously courted Brandt shortly after Jurgen Klopp’s arrival, with the Reds manager apparently preferring a move for the then-Bayer Leverkusen star over Mo Salah. The player has now voiced regret over his decision to reject a move to Anfield.
Newcastle United’s injury crisis is the worst in 17 years, according to Eddie Howe, who has issued a new warning.
