A host of clubs that are reportedly tracking Shakhtar Donetsk forward Mykhaylo Mudryk have been told by the Ukrainian side’s sporting director that the 21-year-old will cost “more than Antony”, the Daily Mirror says. Arsenal was linked with the winger in the summer but was unable to get a deal done. Manchester City and Newcastle have also reportedly shown interest. The Belgium bet will report what happens.
Another player the Magpies are understood to be investing in is Paraguay international Miguel Almiron with the club set to offer him a new contract.
The Daily Telegraph writes that the 28-year-old has improved under Eddie Howe and the club is eager to ward off rival clubs heading into the January transfer window.
