A fresh insight into the winter transfer plans of Premier League strugglers Newcastle United has been provided this weekend.
Magpies woes
The subject of potential January arrivals at St. James’ Park has of course begun to ramp up over recent weeks.
This comes with the Magpies, now backed by the wealth of the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, no doubt eyeing a considerable outlay upon the market swinging open once more following the turn of the year.
Despite the excitement surrounding the changing of hands at the top of the club back in October, Newcastle remain firmly entrenched in a relegation battle at the foot of the Premier League table.
The Geordie outfit, now overseen by Eddie Howe, currently sit in 19th-place, having scraped together just a solitary three-point haul across the length of the campaign thus far.

OM star eyed
As such, it goes without saying that reinforcements are very much on the cards at St. James’ Park this winter.
To this point, a whole host of star names have been tipped to link up with Howe’s struggling squad, including the likes of Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Philippe Coutinho and Donny van de Beek.
And, on Saturday, a fresh pair of candidates to add some much needed quality to the setup on Tyneside have been revealed.
The players in question? Boubacar Kamara and Tosin Adarabioyo.
As per a report from The Times, Eddie Howe views both the Marseille and Fulham stars as the kind of signings which could ultimately turn Newcastle’s season around.
In turn, proposals for both appear imminent following the turn of the year.
For those unaware, Kamara is a highly-regarded defensive midfielder who can also slot into a defensive role when required, with the Frenchman’s soon-to-be free agent status meaning he could well be available on the cheap in January.
Adarabioyo, meanwhile, is a towering central defender who brought to an end his long-term stint on the books of Manchester City last summer, linking up with Fulham, with whom he has since thoroughly impressed.
