Now that the takeover is finally complete at Newcastle, the rumours continue to circulate on who will the club be attempting to sign in the January window. oddschecker bring you all the latest odds in this market.
There have been strong rumours ever since the takeover that Newcastle will likely relieve Steve Bruce of his managerial duties.
We reported to you yesterday that Brendan Rodgers was cut into 2/1 favourite to be the next Newcastle manager.
If Newcastle do bring in a new manager then of course they will expect to bring in some higher calibre players that what is currently at the club.
Who could Newcastle sign?
No player would be out of the question however it may take a few years of success until we see the best in the world lace the boots up at St James Park. Manchester City took some time before they finally started having some success. They finally won the Premier League some 4 years after their financial takeover.
The clear favourite in the market is James Tarkowski at 3/1, the Burnley centre half would bring some much-needed security to a currently leaky backline – they’ve conceded a league high 16 goals so far this term.
Ex-Liverpool midfielder Philipe Coutinho is second favourite at 6/1, although he is not the player he once was he still possesses real quality and could unlock a defence when needed.
Jesse Lingard is 9/1 to swap Old Trafford for St James Park, could the lure of mega money be too much for the Man United man to turn down?
If his game time doesn’t increase, then he could well be looking for a new challenge. What better place than Newcastle? He could remain playing in the best league in the world and earn more money than he ever has in his career.

Who else could Newcastle sign?
Alfredo Morelos, Aaron Ramsey and Georginio Wijnaldum are all at 10/1. Aaron Ramsey is out of favour in Italy with Juventus rumoured to want to get his huge £400k per week wages off their books. Wijnaldum is a man out of favour at PSG frustrated by a lack of game time and if the situation doesn’t improve he too could be heading towards the exit door.
Longer shots in the market are Man Utd duo Paul Pogba and Anthony Martial are both at 20/1, further out we have Paulo Dybala at 25/1, Harry Kane at 35/1, Kylian Mbappe at 35/1, Erling Haaland at 50/1 and Mohammed Salah at 66/1.
