Arsenal, Chelsea & Man Utd 'alerted' to 'sellable' £18m Newcastle star

Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United have all been given the chance to sign Newcastle United striker Callum Wilson for as little as £18m, according to a report.

Newcastle are looking to raise funds before the end of the January transfer window and were in talks over selling right-back Kieran Trippier to Bayern Munich, only for negotiations to collapse when an agreement could not be found.

Miguel Almiron is a candidate to leave for Saudi Arabia, but the Evening Standard state that Wilson is also seen as a "sellable asset" by those in charge at St James' Park.

Wilson, who will turn 32 next month, is in the final 18 months of his contract and could be available for as little as £18m - a figure which has been presented to Arsenal, Chelsea and Manchester United as the Premier League trio seek solutions to their goalscoring woes before the January transfer window closes.

Man Utd boss Erik ten Hag has confirmed that the Red Devils do not have the Financial Fair Play flexibility to bring in a new striker this month, while Arsenal chief Mikel Arteta has also admitted a new striker arriving at the Emirates is unlikely.

Those stances could change following the news of Wilson's availability. Across his time with Bournemouth and Newcastle, he has racked up 215 appearances in the Premier League, netting a respectable 86 goals for good measure.

Wilson has spoken with Atletico Madrid this month but is seeking a club who can offer him regular first-team Football as he seeks to secure a spot in Gareth Southgate's England squad for this summer's European Championships.

All three of Arsenal, Chelsea and Man Utd are eyeing a new striker in 2024 but the trio could all wait until the summer to make a bigger splash, with the likes of Napoli's Victor Osimhen and Brentford's Ivan Toney expected to be attainable for sizeable fees.

However, a short-term fix like Wilson may appeal, although players may need to be sold before any of Arsenal, Chelsea or Man Utd can make space for a new signing.

Russell Westbrook signs with Clippers: Former MVP lands back in L.A. after Lakers trade, per report

Former NBA MVP Russell Westbrook plans to sign with the Los Angeles Clippers once he finalizes a buyout with the Utah Jazz, his agent told Adrian Wojnarowski. Westbrook was trade d from the Los Angeles Lakers to the Jazz as part of a three-team deal ahead of the trade deadline earlier this month. In 52 games for the Lakers this season, the majority of them off the bench, Westbrook averaged 15.9 points, 6.2 rebounds and 7.5 assists per game. But while his counting stats were still solid, his defense, inefficient shooting (41.7 percent from the field, 29.6 percent from 3-point land) and poor fit next to LeBron James and Anthony Davis were once again a problem for the Lakers. There was also the fact that James was publicly lobbying for the team to trade him, which did not help the vibes in the locker room.  But despite some of Westbrook's issues with the Lakers, and his declining play in recent years, the Clipp...

Bruno Fernandes names Portugal teammate he wants Man Utd to sign

Image
Bruno Fernandes has encouraged Manchester United to act on their interest in Benfica midfielder Joao Neves. United have regularly scouted the 19-year-old and were in attendance as he shone in Benfica's recent 2-1 win over Sporting CP, watching the teenager alongside scouts from both Arsenal and Liverpool. Neves' excellent form this season has seen him rewarded with two caps for the Portugal national team. The youngster came off the bench for the final five minutes of October's 5-0 win over Bosnia & Herzegovina and saw another three minutes against Liechtenstein on Thursday. Asked about United's interest in Neves, Fernandes admitted he'd be keen to see the teenager join him at Old Trafford but only if manager Erik ten Hag sees a future for him. "It has to be the Manchester United coach who says whether he has a place in the team or not," Fernandes told a press conference. "He's a great player, I don't know if he would have a place or not. I...
