Newcastle United 2-1 Burnley - Joe Buck match reaction
Newcastle United are expected to be active in the January transfer window as they chase success in a number of competitions this season.
Newcastle United are facing a potentially pivotal period in a season where they are challenging for success on four separate fronts.
Of course, there is one other key factor in United’s season rapidly approaching as the January transfer window prepares to open for business - and there is an expectation Newcastle will be active in the transfer market as they look to boost Howe’s squad in preparation for the final months of the season.
Speculation over who could arrive at St James Park has been almost non-stop ever since the summer transfer window came to a hectic end and there is also talk of several players that are being strongly linked with moves away from Tyneside in the first month of the new year. With just three weeks to go until the window opens for business, we utilise the services of AI tool Grok3 to see how it predicts the Magpies will act during the January transfer window.

Kees Smit - AZ Alkmaar
Grok3: “Dutch U21 international; aggressive mid-season bid seen as best chance, though AZ reluctant and a full-season stay more likely. High interest, medium likelihood.”
James Trafford - Manchester City
Grok3: “Long-term successor to Nick Pope; re-engaged interest despite summer rejection, though wages/fee hurdles and mixed reports on priority. Medium-high likelihood.”
Axel Disasi - Chelsea
Grok3: “Monitored for permanent deal to bolster defence; opportunistic if available. Medium confidence.”
Lamine Camara - Monaco
Grok3: “Press-resistant profile; featured in internal discussions, potential winter move. Medium likelihood.”

Joe Willock - to Crystal Palace
Grok3: “Fallen to sixth-choice; contract to 2027, natural sale to fund midfield addition. High likelihood.”
Will Osula - to Eintracht Frankfurt
Grok3: “Fringe 22-year-old; near-move last window, exit depends on forward replacement. High confidence.”
Emil Krafth - to Brondby
Grok3: “Final contract year; likely January departure for rotation refresh. High likelihood.”
Kieran Trippier - to Nottingham Forest
Grok3: “Expiring contract; potential early exit if suitors emerge. Medium confidence.”
Alex Murphy - loan to a League One club
Grok3: “Limited first-team minutes this season; needs regular game time to develop as cover for Lewis Hall and Valentino Livramento. Seen as a future option but not ready for Premier League rotation.”
