Newcastle United are eyeing a move for a “sensational” Premier League midfielder in the summer transfer window, who has scored more goals than Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali combined this season.
Latest Newcastle news
The Magpies face a massive game at home to Nottingham Forest on Sunday afternoon, in a match that feels so important in the battle for Champions League football between now and May.
Newcastle are six points behind Nuno Espirito Santo’s side heading into the weekend action, highlighting the importance of Eddie Howe’s side picking up a win, especially after last weekend’s disappointing 4-0 defeat away to Manchester City.
Kieran Trippier for Newcastle
Whatever happens in the coming months, a productive summer window is needed at St James’ Park, with a new centre-back needing to come in. Bournemouth ace Dean Huijsen has been linked with a move to the Magpies, having made 19 league appearances this season, excelling alongside Illia Zabarnyi.
Another Cherries player, Marcus Tavernier, has also been mentioned as a target for Newcastle, as Paul Mitchell also looks to strengthen the wide attacking options at Howe’s disposal, particularly after the exit of Miguel Almiron.
Newcastle interested in £60m midfielder
According to a new report from The Telegraph, Newcastle are eyeing a move for Nottingham Forest midfielder Morgan Gibbs-White at the end of the 2024/25 season.
The £60m-valued Englishman is described as one of a number of names who have been “discussed at various points”, along with the likes of Johan Bakayoko, Antoine Semenyo, Huijsen, Jonathan David, Nicolas Kuhn and Tyler Dibling.

Gibbs-White stands out as a great option for Newcastle to sign this summer, having become such an influential for a Forest team that has been excellent throughout the campaign. Magpies supporters will just hope his brilliance isn’t on show this weekend at St James’ Park.
The 25-year-old has scored five goals in the Premier League this season, which is more than Bruno Guimaraes (two) and Sandro Tonali (one) combined, and he has the same number of assists, too, showing that he can both score and create, being called “sensational” by journalist Josh Bunting.
Gibbs-White has the box-to-box energy that Bruno, Tonali and Joelinton provide, which will surely appeal to Howe, and he would add to the homegrown quota within Newcastle’s squad, acting as an added bonus.
The Forest star is also still a relatively young player who can reach higher levels in the coming years, especially if he is suddenly playing alongside superior players, with all due respect to Forest.
