Newcastle United are continuing to be linked with several would-be signings as the final month of the summer transfer window unfolds across the board.
Eddie Howe's squad have returned to Tyneside following their pre-season tour of the Far East. The attention will now turn to Newcastle looking to the start of the new Premier League campaign - which gets underway against Aston Villa on August 16.
There have already been plenty of rumours claiming to provide insight into players that Newcastle might look to sign this summer. United have already added Anthony Elanga and Aaron Ramsdale to the ranks and are, currently, looking to sign RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko.
Here, ChronicleLive takes a look at some of the latest Newcastle transfer news and rumours that has generated headlines over the last 24 hours;
Marc Guehi update
Newcastle have reportedly re-entered the race to sign Crystal Palace defender Marc Guehi.
The Times have reported that the Magpies are still interested in signing Guehi, but will have to compete with Liverpool for his signature. It has been claimed that Newcastle are willing to spend £40million on Guehi - even though Palace have set a £50million asking price for the defender who is out of contract next summer.
Chronicle Live says: Guehi has been linked with Newcastle for some time, so it should be no surprise to see the rumours re-emerge with the defender's future still unresolved. It seems to be a case of who blinks first, Newcastle with Palace's asking price or the Eagles lowering their demands to get a deal over the line.
Benjamin Sesko decision
Newcastle have been handed an update regarding Benjamin Sesko's future at RB Leipzig.
TBR Football have stated that Sesko will make a decision on his future, on Wednesday, as to which club he would prefer to join. As well as Newcastle, Manchester United are also showing an interest in signing Sesko. The Magpies have already made a £65.5million bid for the Slovenia international.
Chronicle Live says: Sesko's name is continuing to dominate headlines, and that shows no signs of stopping anytime soon. Only time will tell if Sesko will make his decision on Wednesday and, if so, the Magpies will hope that it's St James' Park the striker chooses - rather than Old Trafford.
