Newcastle manager Eddie Howe has dismissed rumors linking his team with Aston Villa midfielder Jacob Ramsey. The Magpies have been searching for midfield reinforcements, but Howe denied any interest in the England Under-21 international. Newcastle’s season has been impacted by injuries and they were expected to bring in new players this month to boost their squad. However, Howe shut down reports of a potential deal for Ramsey, stating that they were “incorrect.” The manager also denied talk of Matt Targett leaving on loan, as the player is still injured and an important part of Newcastle’s plans.
Newcastle has been open about their need to sell players soon to comply with Financial Fair Play regulations. Callum Wilson and Miguel Almiron are among those being linked with a move away from St James’ Park and have garnered interest. When asked about potential exits, Howe avoided discussing individual transfer sagas, stating that they are waiting to see what happens. The situation is complex, and all eventualities could occur. However, they will likely not bring in a player without losing one in return.
