Newcastle United trigger deal for £15m midfielder wanted by Leeds as January transfer decision made.
Newcastle United will only be active in the January transfer window if they sell players first, Eddie Howe has warned.
Sean Longstaff is one player Newcastle will listen to offers for in the January transfer window having triggered a contract extension this month.
While Newcastle had what was described as a ‘substantial sum’ to spend on Marc Guehi from Crystal Palace in a deal that never materialised in the summer, the upcoming transfer window is expected to be a quiet one unless sales are agreed.
The money was available for Guehi in the summer but the message from inside Newcastle is that player sales would have always been necessary to fund the club’s transfer business. A purchase of Guehi in the region of £60million would have only made the need for sales more pressing in January.
Crystal Palace risk losing as many as eight players in 2025.
Crystal Palace have a number of players out of contract next summer, and that could see as many as eight leave either in January or at the end of the season.
Unbeaten in the last five games, including draws against high-flying Man City and Aston Villa, Oliver Glasner‘s side look to have finally turned the corner in terms of their form, with Ismaila Sarr even making it into the Premier League Team of the Week.
Eight players could leave Crystal Palace in 2025
If the Eagles continue their ascent up the Premier League table, there may well be the chance for the club to be able to keep those who are at risk of leaving.

At almost 32 years of age, the likelihood of Palace extending the German’s one-year deal which was signed last summer, is minimal.
