Newcastle searches for summer ending
It wasn’t the easiest summer for Newcastle, although Thiaw looks like he would be a good signing, and it’s certainly going to cause a lot of buzz to Anthony Elanga, who joined earlier in the window from Nottingham Forest.
Otherwise, NUFC has been struggling to achieve its highest goals, while Benjamin Sesko chose to sign Manchester United.
It is believed that further problems may also be possible as Alexander Isak’s future remains unresolved.
