Newcastle weigh Nico boost and late transfer moves
Nico Gonzalez gives Newcastle a needed midfield option in Jaissle's 4-2-3-1. He looks a likely starter, offering strong defensive output but limited goal threat from a deeper role.
Newcastle are pursuing Lille forward Matias Fernandez-Pardo, with the player open to a move. They have also explored Stuttgart's Bilal El Khannouss if talks for Fernandez-Pardo stall.
Nico Gonzalez could make his Newcastle debut after training. Osula, Joelinton and Burn remain out, Toure should be fit, while Livramento is back in training but likely misses Gameweek 2.
Newcastle are likely to sanction exits before the deadline. Pope, Murphy and Woltemade face uncertain futures, while Willock is likelier to stay and several youngsters could leave on loan.
Newcastle are reported to have made an offer for a midfielder who would be their record signing in that position, with a reply received.
