Newcastle United sign £45m midfielder, find Gordon replacement

Newcastle United have completed the signing of a midfielder for a reported £45 million. The club also announced that a replacement for winger Anthony Gordon has been identified.

The midfielder’s contract was finalised ahead of the summer transfer window. The fee places the player among the most expensive signings in Newcastle’s history.

The replacement for Gordon is expected to provide depth on the flanks. No name was disclosed for the incoming winger at the time of announcement.

Newcastle finished the 2023‑24 Premier League campaign in the lower half of the table. The season was described as disappointing by club officials.

The new arrivals are intended to address the squad’s shortcomings identified last term. Newcastle aim to improve their league position and compete for European qualification next season.
