Update:
Kelly arrival close
Newcastle's first senior signing of the
summer transfer window is expected to be Lloyd Kelly, a free agent
following the expiration of his Bournemouth contract.
The 25 year-old Bristol-born player was pictured by Sky Sports en route to
the first part of his club medical in London on Wednesday.
Kelly will be reunited with former managers
Eddie Howe and Jason Tindall at Gallowgate plus ex-Cherries coach Graeme Jones.
The left-sided central defender played the first of 48 games for Bristol City in 2017, making a �13m switch to
Bournemouth ahead of the 2019/20 campaign - and a home debut during
Newcastle's 4-1 win there.
141 appearances for the ex-England U20 and U21 international at the Vitality
Stadium include 54 in the Premier League (47 starts).

Ex-Mags:
U's acquire Watts
League One
Cambridge United have completed the free transfer signing of Kelland
Watts after the defender's long association with Newcastle United ended.
Now 24, Kell joined the Magpies back in 2008 and played at Academy and
reserve level, belatedly making his competitive senior bow for the club
against Liverpool in the Premier League during 2020.
A succession of EFL loans meanwhile saw him rack up 140 league and cup games
for Stevenage, Mansfield Town, Plymouth Argyle, Wigan Athletic (twice) and
Peterborough United.
Watts is the second recently-released Magpie to have found a new club after Dylan Stephenson
joined National League side Dagenham & Redbridge.
The 21 year-old forward spent the second half of last season on loan at
National League North side South Shields, following a temporary posting to
Scottish Championship side Hamilton Academical in 2023.
Appearing for United in first team team friendlies without ever making a
senior competitive bow, Stephenson has also agreed a two year deal at the Daggers.
PS: Following his exit from SJP, goalkeeper Jude Smith has joined
League Two Carlisle United on a two year deal.
Internationals:
Euro quartet confirmed

Anthony Gordon were confirmed as being in Gareth Southgate's final squad

Update:
Exit looms for
Wembley winner
As
anticipated, Premier League-bound Southampton are in the process of
concluding the permanent transfer of Ryan Fraser from
Newcastle, following his successful loan spell at St. Mary's Stadium
last season.
The 30 year-old former Scottish international is in the final year
of his contract at SJP, playing 44 times and scoring eight goals
last season in league and cups as the Saints won the Championship
playoff final.
The departure of fellow midfield discard Isaac Hayden from
Gallowgate is also nearing, with the 29 year-old expected to reach a
financial settlement on the remaining two years of his Magpies deal.
Spending the latter part of last season at QPR, he's keen on
remaining at Loftus Road, although the subject of interest from
other second tier clubs.
Update:
'Keeper claims grow
The anticipated departure of Martin
Dubravka and confirmed exit of Loris Karius this summer has brought
renewed speculation over who will be signed to vie with Nick Pope as
Newcastle's first-choice goalkeeper.
The current name in the frame is James Trafford, the 21
year-old, 6 foot 6 inch custodian who has just endured a maiden
Premier League campaign at Burnley and is reportedly the subject of
a �16m bid.
Trafford is predicted to be the latest player to follow a
well-trodden path from Turf Moor to St. James' Park - following Jeff
Hendrick, Chris Wood and Nick Pope from the Clarets to the Magpies
in recent seasons.
The Cockermouth-born player joined Manchester City as a youngster in
2015, making his senior competitive debut on loan to Accrington
Stanley in August 2021.
An 18 month loan to Bolton Wanderers followed, returning to Burnley
last summer fresh from European U21 Championship victory with
England alongside current Magpie Anthony Gordon.
Making a �19m switch from City to Burnley ahead of their Premier
League return, he made the last of his 28 top-flight appearances for
them in March.
A similar fee is claimed to be under discussion with Newcastle at
present, with an unspecified percentage payable to Manchester City
due to a sell-on clause.
Sela
spectacular:
South bank show
Saturday night saw club
sponsors Sela organise a free event on the river Tyne that they
described as a "celebration of the club, the city and the fans".
Gateshead's Baltic Flour Mill and the river itself became giant projection
screens, spectators gathering on the Newcastle side as iconic local images
were displayed.
In addition to the Blaydon Races and St.James' Park itself, Alan Shearer,
Kevin Keegan, Bobby Moncur (with the Fairs Cup in his hand), Gazza, Jackie
Milburn, Tino Asprilla, Hughie Gallacher and Sir Bobby Robson were all immortalised.
More contemporary footage meanwhile included goals from last season, NUWFC and the
new 2024/25 home kit.
