A look at the latest Newcastle United transfer rumours on Monday, July 17.

Ange Postecoglou keen on signing Magpies’ ‘target’

Alan Nixon claims Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing Crystal Palace defender Joachim Andersen. The Danish centre-back is reportedly on Newcastle United’s radar this summer, but the Eagles would demand a fee in the region of £50million.

Ange Postecoglou is hoping to improve the all-round depth and quality of his squad. The Spurs boss has money available to do so this summer having already complete the signing of James Maddison.

Spurs chief Daniel Levy is also said to be a fan of Andersen and would be keen on a move. The Danish international would not be phased by Tottenham’s lack of European football, according to the report.

West Ham keen on Harvey Barnes after Declan Rice sale

Sky Sports claims West Ham United are keen on signing Harvey Barnes this summer as they look to improve on their 14th placed finish last season. The Hammers won the Europa Conference League but struggled domestically throughout the campaign.

David Moyes’ side are keen on signing Manchester United defender Harry Maguire this summer as they look to reinvest into the squad following Declan Rice’s departure for Arsenal. Leicester winger Barnes is also said to be a target for the Gunners, with Newcastle still keen but ‘yet to place a bid’.

Eddie Howe cut a frustrated figure following the pre-season win over Gateshead given the lack of arrivals at the club this summer. Interest in Barnes dates back to last summer but the Magpies are yet to make an approach with Howe claiming nothing was close.
