Newcastle United transfer news: Eddie Howe reunion, Galatasaray and Napoli name price

Your Newcastle United transfer round-up for Tuesday, March 22.

Give Me Sport claim Eddie Howe could be poised to sign Bournemouth defender Lloyd Kelly. The 23-year-old - who made his debut for the Cherries under the Toon boss - has made 31 appearances for Scott Parker's side this season as they surge towards promotion. The report suggests a deal could be ‘likely’ as Newcastle look to bolster their defensive options.

Newcastle must stump up £17million if they are to sign Galatasaray defender Victor Nelsson, according to Turkish outlet Takvim. Centre-back is likely to be a priority for the Magpies this summer despite the arrival of Dan Burn, with moves for Sven Botman and Diego Carlos falling through in January.

The outlet reports Newcastle’s estimation to be £12.5million but the Turkish giants are holding out for more. Crystal Palace boss Patrick Vieira was believed to be keen on the 23-year-old last summer.

It will cost Newcastle a staggering €100million to prise Victor Osimhen away from Napoli at the end of the season. Italian journalist Paolo Bargiggia claims that is the fee set by Napoli who are desperate to keep a hold of their star striker.

The Nigerian has bagged 11 goals in Serie A this campaign as Napoli battle it out with both Milan clubs for the coveted scudetto. La Gazzetta dello Sport insist the Toon’s Saudi-backed regime would ‘not baulk’ at those figures, which converts to around £80million.
