Newcastle in transfer talks for Brighton, Nottingham Forest and Burnley stars

Newcastle United are looking to make a significant number of signings this summer, currently in talks to buy Nottingham Forest, Brighton and Burnley stars. The Magpies have been quiet in recent transfer windows, but after winning the Carabao Cup and earning themselves a return to the Champions League they are making moves again. Eddie Howe is hoping to strengthen a string of positions, with the forward line particularly being looked at. The left flank is covered as Howe has Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes at his disposal, but he wants competition for Alexander Isak through the middle and for Jacob Murphy on the right. The Daily Mail report that the Magpies are 'pursuing a deal' for Forest winger Anthony Elanga after an impressive season for the Sweden international. Still just 23 years old, Elanga scored six goals in 43 appearances in all competitions for Forest as they enjoyed a surprisingly good season competing in the top half of the Premier League. The Telegraph report that Newcastle are 'aware of a price for Elanga' but there has been little movement yet on a possible move. The Swede only cost Forest £15m when he joined from Manchester United in 2023, but they would likely be looking for over £50m to sell him now. Speaking to Swedish media over the international break, Elanga said: 'There is a lot of talk. 'I focus on what I can do and my focus today was on the match. In football there are always rumours. The most important thing is that I focus on what I can control.' 2024/25 Premier League stats Anthony Elanga Apps: 38Goals: 6 Assists: 11 Jacob Murphy Apps: 35Goals: 8 Assists: 12 Callum Wilson is leaving the club on a free transfer this summer so Newcastle are in need of a new striker as back-up and competition for Isak. Brighton's Joao Pedro has been touted as that man, with the Telegraph's report stating that the Brazilian is interested in a move north to St James' Park. The 23-year-old scored 10 goals in 27 Premier League games over the last campaign after netting nine times the previous season. The Seagulls are open to a sale, but have set an asking price of around £59m for the former Watford forward. At the other end of the pitch, Newcastle are interested in a new goalkeeper and want Burnley's James Trafford. Whether he would be able to displace Nick Pope straight away is not clear, but the Magpies have reportedly opened talks for the 22-year-old who was in Thomas Tuchel's latest England squad. More Trending The stopper signed for Burnley from Manchester City for £15m in 2023 and has made 73 appearances for the Clarets, firstly in the Premier League and last season in the Championship as they bounced straight back to the top flight. Burnley want over £30m for their goalkeeper, with Newcastle unwilling to pay that amount, but discussions continue. Trafford had an incredible season with Burnley as they finished second in the Championship with a scarcely believable defensive record. The goalkeeper kept 29 clean sheets in 45 games, conceding just 16 goals.

Thomas Tuchel confirms Trent Alexander-Arnold stance after England frustration

Trent Alexander-Arnold is set to to feature for Real Madrid at the upcoming Club World Cup but played just 26 minutes in England's latest international double-header Trent Alexander-Arnold did not start either England game because of the distraction of his move to Real Madrid. Alexander-Arnold is set to be unveiled by the Spanish giants after his £10m move from Liverpool ahead of the Club World Cup. But the Real Madrid right back had a frustrating time on international duty which must raise question marks over whether another England manager really fancies him. However, Thomas Tuchel said Alexander-Arnold is a 'special player' and said that leaving him out was a decision made with so much else going on in his world. ‌ England boss Tuchel said: 'Like every other player, he needs to play and get minutes, and be competitive on the highest level. It's as easy as that. ‌ 'There was a lot going on for Trent in the last weeks. Even now with the change of city, change of environment, change of country, change of club. Let's see. 'I wish him all the best and he was in camp and like every other player be there, be competitive, find your place, keep your place, and be ready for nomination in September. 'Trent is Trent. He's a special player, it makes not so much sense to focus on a part of his game that's not his strength. We all know what he can give to a team. If he steps up to his highest level he will always be in contention for nomination.' Meanwhile, Alexander-Arnold's new club team-mate Jude Bellingham is set to miss England's next two World Cup qualifiers. Tuchel admitted that he fully expects Bellingham to undergo shoulder surgery after the Club World Cup. Real Madrid star Bellingham has been playing with heavy strapping on the injury for the past year and will go under the knife this summer. That means he is set to miss the qualifiers with Andorra at Wembley and a trip to Serbia but Tuchel insists the other players will need to step up and prove they can cope without him. ‌ Tuchel said: 'It can be an issue. But we can do without… We have whom we have. The players need to make sure they're in the right mindset, they have their place, they're fit and strong, a World Cup season demands everything from the players. 'They need to be at the highest standards, and if a player cannot make it because of a surgery or injury or whatever we have to step up and do it as a team without them, no question.' And while Jude will miss the next batch of internationals, his brother Jobe has been thrown a shock World Cup chance after his move to Borussia Dortmund. The 19-year-old is following in Jude's footsteps by moving to the Bundesliga club to further his career. It worked brilliantly for Jude Bellingham as the England star became one of the best midfielders in the world and is now a superstar with Real Madrid. ‌ Jobe has already represented England at under-21 level, helped Sunderland to gain promotion to the Premier League and his £32m fee was more than Dortmund paid for Jude. Tuchel revealed they will now monitor Jobe's progress carefully and both brothers could go to next summer's World Cup. When asked whether there was a chance of a call-up and Dortmund being a good platform, Tuchel said: 'It works well in his family.' And Tuchel admitted he could be one they look at before adding: 'Of course. Everyone is a one. 'It starts World Cup season, in August for me. The start of the season after the club World Cup. World Cup season, if you're ready at that highest level, you can be selected. If he's playing, then of course.'
