Newcastle United’s transfer window has been anything but smooth — and it might be about to get worse. While the Magpies have already watched Hugo Ekitike and James Trafford slip through their fingers to Liverpool and Manchester City respectively, fresh reports suggest the Reds could come knocking again… this time, for a familiar face. 👀

🔁 Liverpool remain keen on Newcastle striker Alexander Isak — who’s delivered a phenomenal 44 goals in his last two league campaigns. But should that move fail to materialize, sources say Jurgen Klopp’s successor may already have a Plan B — and it’s one that could shake St James’ Park to its core.

👀 Enter the mystery winger — a boyhood Liverpool fan with electric pace and Premier League experience.

Although this player rose through the ranks at Everton, it’s no secret where his heart lies. With murmurs suggesting he’s open to the idea of an Anfield switch, Newcastle boss Eddie Howe could soon find himself in an uncomfortable position: losing two attacking stars in one summer.

Adding fuel to the fire, Tottenham have reportedly entered the race for Real Madrid star Rodrygo — a key target for Liverpool. If Spurs succeed, Liverpool may pivot quickly toward the Newcastle winger as an alternative.

💬 Former club executive Keith Wyness hinted there’s already quiet momentum behind the scenes. “I still expect that move to Anfield to happen,” he said. “It could turn into a real headache for Newcastle if things don’t fall their way.”

📉 Can Newcastle Cope?

Even with the recent arrival of Anthony Elanga, replacing a first-team regular — especially one of England’s most exciting young wingers — would be no easy task. Newcastle’s depth will be tested, particularly with Champions League football back on their schedule.

For Howe, who’s pushing for stability and consistency, losing key players now could derail their plans before the season kicks off. With the window still open, the coming weeks could define Newcastle’s trajectory for the entire campaign.
