As you might have noticed, many players have quickly and efficiently been linked with a move to Newcastle United.
That’s because a few will have been offered to the club, while others are pure fiction, but there is clearly a desire within the football community to get closer to St James’ Park at this moment in time.
This has been reported by French investigative journalist Romain Molina, who tweeted that ‘every agent and intermediary are trying to find out who they need to go through to offer players to Newcastle and position themselves’.
There are currently a lot of rumours surrounding the future of Steve Bruce, and the general consensus in England is that the manager will get sacked.
Tous les agents et intermédiaires essayent de savoir par qui passer à Newcastle pour proposer des joueurs et se placer
Si le club attend une nouvelle direction sportive, Amanda Staveley est depuis un moment amie avec de gros agents UK, donc ça va être dur de se faire une place..

That’s why Molina explains that ‘while the club are waiting for a new sporting direction’, meaning a new person in charge, he points out that Amanda Staveley has, ‘for some time, been friends with big UK agents, so it will be difficult to get a seat at the table’.
Who those agents are isn’t clear, but what is becoming more and more apparent is that many representatives are falling over themselves to try and get a piece of the freshly baked pie at Newcastle, and that’s spilling over into the rumour market.
