In the space of a year, Newcastle have sold star striker Alexander Isak, their best winger Anthony Gordon and one of the best midfielders in the country Sandro Tonali.

The club has also missed out on virtually all of their first-choice transfer targets this summer too. Víctor Muñoz went to Liverpool, James Trafford chose to join Leeds United, midfielder Johan Manzambi signed for Aston Villa and even teenager winger Zadok Yohanna opted to sign for Brighton.

Telegraph Sport understands it was missing out on Manzambi that tipped Howe over the edge.

@LukeEdwardsTele has the inside story on why Eddie Howe decided to leave Newcastle ⤵️

We should be all over Leao if he’s available for €50m and only being linked to Turkish clubs.

[Ben Franklin. @benavfcfranklin]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[Ben Franklin. @benavfcfranklin]

We’re so done if it’s true that Pau has done his ACL too… #AVFC

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 EXCL: Arsenal exploring move to sign Vinicius Junior from Real Madrid. #AFC interest early stage + clubs not yet in talks but idea approved at all levels. Much rests on contract process as no breakthrough yet & #RMFC do not want free exit @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/qYdS5vlfE6

[Ben Franklin. @benavfcfranklin]

Seems like too many big changes at the same time to me. Concerning leading into the new season.

[Ben Franklin. @benavfcfranklin]

Ffs🤦🏼‍♂️ this is a big big loss.

[John Townley @johntownley11]

🚨 EXCL: Austin MacPhee is leaving his role as Aston Villa's set-piece coach to join Chelsea. He said his goodbyes to the staff and players today. It's a big blow for Villa, who have held MacPhee's work in high regard throughout his five-year spell at the club.

[Ben Franklin. @benavfcfranklin]

Why is there no Joao Gomes interview?🤔

[Ben Franklin. @benavfcfranklin]

Here’s hoping he proves me wrong…

[Aston Villa @AVFCOfficial]

He's a Villan 💜

Aston Villa is delighted to announce the signing of Alejandro Garnacho from Chelsea on a season-long loan 🤝

[David Ornstein @David_Ornstein]

🚨 Leeds United in talks with Manchester City to sign James Trafford. Newcastle United also interested & #NUFC made club-to-club contact, but 23yo #MCFC goalkeeper leaning towards Elland Road + #LUFC now working to land England international @TheAthleticFC https://t.co/UFx5Em5Xh8

[Ben Franklin. @benavfcfranklin]

Wonder if this makes them cough up for Konsa…

[Arsenal @Arsenal]

William Saliba medical update.

[Jacob Tanswell @J_Tanswell]

New: Alejandro Garnacho to complete move to #AVFC on initial loan with conditional obligation based on appearances. Once 22yo has reached appearance threshold, permanent deal will be triggered, with Garnacho signing a four-year contract. Story @TheAthleticFC

[Tamworth Football Club @tamworthfc]

It ends in defeat at The Lamb.

Thank you for your support!🔴

[Ben Franklin. @benavfcfranklin]

Really looking forward to seeing Madjo in action.

[Ben Franklin. @benavfcfranklin]

@m_sexton97 I agree that’s crazy money as well but Rogers is a much better player than he is. He’s just got relegated and being sold for €80m. He had a 2 month spell of good form at best IMO.

[Ben Franklin. @benavfcfranklin]

Crazy money for Summerville that is🤦🏼‍♂️

[Ben Franklin. @benavfcfranklin]

If Garnacho is the only winger that comes in that’s pathetic. Just a bad egg I don’t want near Villa personally.

[Jacob Tanswell @J_Tanswell]

Emerson Royal has informed Flamengo he wishes to leave & join #AVFC. Talks currently on hold with Villa exploring alternative RB targets after difficulty in agreeing a fee. But 27yo pushing & could be revisited. Story w/@MarioCortegana in @TheAthleticFC dealsheet:

[Jacob Tanswell @J_Tanswell]

Crystal Palace decide against pursuing Evann Guessand. 25yo available to leave #AVFC but will return for pre-season towards the end of the month.
