Newcastle set for last minute drama after Yasir Al-Rumayyan meeting

Newcastle could be in for some late transfer deadline activity.

That’s according to recent reports, which claim the Magpies could yet do some big business before next week’s winter deadline.

While the likes of Kieran Trippier and Callum Wilson have been subject to interest from Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid respectively, fans have yet to see any fresh faces walk through the St. James’ Park door.

However, according to the Telegraph’s Luke Edwards, CEO Yasir Al-Rumayyan’s recent trip to the UK could suggest the club are lining up something special.

“It is my understanding that Yasir Al-Rumayyan has been in the UK the last couple of days, speaking to Newcastle’s board. Are they going to sanction a big-money move?” the journalist said.

“The money would come from Saudi Arabia’s public investment fund but whatever Newcastle do now will come off their summer budget. I would expect Newcastle are the club who will give us the most drama and the most intrigue as we head towards deadline day.”
