Dominic Scurr looks ahead to transfer deadline day for Newcastle United.

Transcript

00:00 It's transfer deadline day and as much as we'd like to make a big song and dance about

00:05 it, in reality it's going to be very quiet for Newcastle United.

00:09 They've tried, they've looked at midfield additions, loan sign-ins and they'll probably

00:13 still look, though the reality is PSR, as much as people hate to hear it, has shackled

00:20 them this transfer window and it's going to be really quiet.

00:25 It will have one incoming, I say at least, but in reality it will probably be the only

00:31 one in Alfie Harrison joining from Manchester City.

00:34 18 years old, it was confirmed by Eddie Howe last week he would be joining the club.

00:39 It's not a first team addition but the reality of Newcastle's quiet transfer window is sign-ins

00:45 like that will get more attention because there's been no other this month.

00:49 There's been a lot of noise but in reality, in terms of what's actually transpired, very

00:54 little, one departure in Javier Manquio, as I say a lot of speculation, a lot of interest,

01:00 genuine interest from Bayern Munich for Kieran Trippier and Al-Shabaab for Miguel Almiron

01:06 but nothing's transpired in that regard.

01:08 Newcastle rejected the bid for Kieran Trippier and Miguel Almiron keen to stay at Newcastle

01:15 as opposed to joining the Saudi Pro League.

01:17 So yeah, those two players set to stay.

01:19 Wouldn't expect any first team departures as such this deadline day.

01:26 Isaac Hayden, that's what we're down to now, that's how quiet the window is.

01:31 Isaac Hayden, we're paying attention to him, not part of Eddie Howe's first team plans

01:35 but were called from his loan at standard liaise, likely to go out on loan again.

01:41 Eddie Howe confirmed that a couple of weeks ago but asked about it the other night if

01:45 there was any update and Eddie Howe said he wasn't sure.

01:48 So as we saw in the summer, Isaac Hayden did move after the UK deadline day, Belgian transfer

01:56 window open later.

01:58 So we might see that again, there's championship interest in him but yeah, like I say, that's

02:03 probably the extent of Newcastle's first team departures if you like, if you can even call

02:08 it a first team departure.

02:10 Potentially a couple of younger lads going out on loan too as we usually see in the closing

02:14 stages of the transfer window but yeah very quiet and Newcastle United.
