Newcastle is seeing that money does not bring happiness. The English club, with all the financial power of its new owners, is having a hard time reinforcing its squad in this winter market.
There are many names that have been linked to the ‘magpies’: Coutinho, Dembélé, Diego Carlos, Lingard… However, they have only been able to sign Kieran Trippier (Atlético) in exchange for 15 million euros and Chris Wood (Burnley) for another 30 ‘kilos’, in addition to picking up Matty Longstaff, on loan to Scottish side Aberdeen.

The footballers, one by one, are refusing to stop at St. James’ Park and the last of them has been Ashley Young. The veteran English winger (36) has made only 13 appearances in his second spell at Aston Villa and now sees how the arrival of Digne will take away even more of his prominence. Despite all this, he has declined to sign for Newcastle, according to the Mirror.
Young does not want to change the scene and wants to stay until the end of the season, when he will be free to sign for any other club. Another slam for Newcastle.
