Newcastle target Victor Munoz as agent stance complicates move
Opinion piece argues Anthony Elanga’s £55m 2025 signing taking five weeks was a red flag for sluggish Newcastle ownership and disrupted pre-season plans, with late arrivals and the Isak saga undermining Eddie Howe ahead of a 58-game season.
Newcastle reportedly lead talks to loan Arsenal’s Ethan Nwaneri, 19, after a limited spell at Marseille. Keith Wyness says Newcastle offer a clear pathway to minutes as they refresh attack after Anthony Gordon’s exit.
Column defends Eddie Howe against claims he blocks youth, citing Lewis Miley, Tino Livramento and Lewis Hall, and argues PSR drove the sales of Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson. Critics of loans and selection are challenged as unfair.
Victor Munoz is considering a Newcastle offer as Eddie Howe’s recruitment continues, but his agent may block the move.
Newcastle have reportedly proposed a swap with Chelsea involving Nick Woltemade and Liam Delap. Reports suggest Newcastle value Woltemade higher after his 12 goals and 5 assists, so would want cash added. Discussions have also referenced Lewis Hall, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes.
