⭐️ Arsenal win 1-0 & then lose a penalty shootout. Here is winger Max Dowman (15) scoring his spot-kick. Remember the name. Height & poise. A star in the making. Loved watching him tonight.

🇸🇬 Goalless after a decent enough first half. Biggest takeaway? Ethan Nwaneri could have a fabulous season. He does not look, or play, 18.

🗣️ Yoane Wissa talks continuing today between clubs. I’m told it’s as much a case of trying to agree a deal now (as opposed to incremental bids) & confidence remains that Newcastle move will happen #nufc

CCraig Hope@CraigHope_DM · Jul 22

🚨 There is confidence among sources close to the deal that Yoane Wissa’s proposed move to Newcastle will progress 💰 A fee in the region of £30m could be enough to reach agreement with Brentford #nufc

Watching from afar (in the Far East) but I’d say that’s the best thing that could have happened to NUFC today. I’ll be exploring this more from out here next week, but there are some home truths that need to be confronted around the club right now.

🚨 I’m told Newcastle are prepared to move on from their interest in Burnley’s James Trafford with a deal still not agreed 🧤 It’s not dead yet, and a 12-month pursuit shows how much they admire the player, but I understand the club are also comfortable with their current GK…

🚶 I’m told Newcastle have now walked away from the Hugo Ekitike deal after an initial enquiry & deciding the deal wasn’t for them. Other targets are now being pursued #nufc

CCraig Hope@CraigHope_DM · Jul 17

❌ The word on Tuesday night was that Ekitike & Newcastle was v unlikely. Deal now off 🐝 As reported previously, Yoane Wissa is admired & is a live target 💨 Sources say NUFC will have to act with speed, given interest from elsewhere (Spurs incl.) & complication of Mbeumo
