After announcing the arrival of Antonio Cordero, Newcastle United<\/a> have now reportedly entered talks to sign a long-term target who Eddie Howe<\/a> loves in a deal worth \u00a330m.<\/p>\n

Newcastle announce Cordero arrival<\/strong><\/p>\n

Having spent the last two windows watching other clubs spend big and welcome key additions courtesy of their PSR concerns, Newcastle and PIF wasted no time before getting their business started this time around. Securing the addition of Cordero, the young Spanish winger will arrive at the end of his Malaga contract on July 1.<\/p>\n

Welcoming Cordero to the club in what could be one of his final acts at the club, departing sporting director Paul Mitchell said<\/a>: “Antonio is an exciting talent. We’re delighted to bring him to Newcastle United amidst interest in Spain and across Europe.He has lots of potential, and the next phase of his development will be for the club to select a loan move that will challenge him and build on his experiences.”<\/p>\n

PIF are not done there though. In search of a winger instead of Bryan Mbeumo, who could soon be on his way to Manchester United<\/a>, the Magpies have been linked with moves for the likes of Anthony Elanga<\/a> as well as Brighton forward Joao Pedro<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Elanga is a name that was mentioned last summer before Newcastle were ultimately unable to make their move. One year on, however, they’ve got the necessary breathing room to spend and have reportedly already enquired about a potential deal to sign the Nottingham Forest star.<\/p>\n

The Swede isn’t the only target that Newcastle could revisit this summer, either. Making up for last summer’s disappointment, those at St James’ Park are now “in talks” to sign a long-term target who Howe loves, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Newcastle “in talks” to sign \u00a330m Trafford<\/strong><\/p>\n

According to Sky Sports, Newcastle are now “in talks” to sign James Trafford from Burnley<\/a>, who value their shot-stopper at just \u00a330m this summer. The England international is a player that Howe has had ‘long-term admiration and interest in’ and wants Trafford to compete with current No.1 Nick Pope next season.<\/p>\n

The latter has struggled on the injury front over the last 12 months and the addition of Trafford could see his place come under threat.<\/p>\n

Newcastle’s interest in Trafford is, of course, far from new. The Tyneside club even agreed personal terms<\/a> with the goalkeeper last summer before failing to negotiate a deal with Burnley.<\/p>\n

One year on, whether that agreement remains in place or Newcastle are forced back into negotiations will be interesting to see, especially if Trafford’s stance has changed.<\/p>\n

Dubbed “world-class” by Burnley boss Scott Parker<\/a>, Trafford has more than earned the interest of a Champions League club and may yet arrive at Newcastle before taking Pope’s starting spot.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"After announcing the arrival of Antonio Cordero, Newcastle United have now reportedly entered talks to sign a long-term…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":175431,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[4100],"tags":[94,79,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-175430","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-football","8":"tag-football","9":"tag-sports","10":"tag-uk","11":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/114664310369816449","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175430","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=175430"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/175430\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/175431"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=175430"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=175430"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=175430"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
