Lee Ryder: Newcastle open talks to sign 'world-class' star after Manzambi blow

Newcastle have opened talks to secure a new signing in the summer transfer window as they aim to improve Eddie Howe's squad.

It's already proving to be a difficult window for the Magpies after losing both Sandro Tonali and Anthony Gordon to Tottenham and Barcelona, respectively.

Bruno Guimaraes could also be heading through the exit door, with Arsenal prepared to formally open talks to secure his signature

The Brazilian midfielder wants to make the move to the Emirates Stadium, which could mean Newcastle lose three of their best players this summer.

It's now imperative that Newcastle bring in some adequate replacements, and they do appear to be working on multiple deals at the same time in the window.

According to a report from the Chronicle, Newcastle have opened talks to sign Parma goalkeeper Zion Suzuki in the summer transfer window.

Newcastle have had talks with the player's agency about a possible move. He's set to leave the Italian club, with a price tag of around £17 million mooted.

Aston Villa, Leeds and Paris Saint-Germain are also interested and have held talks with the goalkeeper, who has been described as 'world-class'. The Magpies are just the latest to have registered their interest.

It's been a difficult summer transfer window for Newcastle so far, and they need to start getting deals over the line.

Signing a goalkeeper might not be an immediate priority after bringing in Ewen Jaouen, as they also need to prioritise other positions.

Newcastle need midfield additions

Newcastle desperately need to bring in a central midfielder in the coming weeks, especially with talk of Guimaraes wanting to leave.

The Magpies appear to be strong in their stance that the Brazilian midfielder won't be leaving, but they said the same about Alexander Isak last summer.

Tonali has already left the club, leaving them short of options in the middle of the park. They need to up the ante when it comes to bringing in a midfielder.

Newcastle are in pole position to sign Swiss midfielder Johan Manzambi, who starred at the World Cup. Until he's pictured holding the shirt, though, Newcastle fans will be worried.
