Newcastle miss Manzambi, move for Suzuki and eye £60m Man City star

Everton are reportedly targeting Newcastle winger Jacob Murphy to bolster their attack, but the piece argues he is not a fit for the Toffees.
Amid an overhaul after Anthony Gordon left for Barcelona and Sandro Tonali joined Tottenham, Newcastle are in talks over a £60m Manchester City player described as “unbelievable” by Pep Guardiola.
Newcastle have been linked with Parma and Japan No. 1 Zion Suzuki, with Chronicle Live and Sport Mediaset reporting initial talks with the player’s camp. With Nick Pope aged 34 and only one year left on his deal, Newcastle face competition from Juventus, Aston Villa and others as Suzuki eyes a step up.
Newcastle’s €60m move for Freiburg’s Johan Manzambi collapses as Aston Villa jump ahead. The 20-year-old Switzerland international, who scored three at the World Cup, prefers Villa. NUFC have signed Bazoumana Touré and Sean Steur.
