The ‘big six’ loan deals NUFC could look to strike ahead of awkward January transfer window
With the threat of relegation staring our new owners in the face following our winless start to the season, it could be a real challenge attracting the right player to Newcastle United this winter.
January is a notoriously tough window, with clubs often reluctant to sell and fees inflated, however it's been made all the more awkward this year due to our precarious league position.
As a result, some have suggested that loan signings - which include options to buy should we stay up - could be pursued over expensive permanent deals which could backfire should the worst happen.
With two domestic loan slots available to us, we've looked at the wasted talents and fringe men struggling for game time at 'big six' sides who might be of interest next month:

- Eddie Nketiah - ST
- Ainsley Maitland-Niles - CM / LB / RB
- Callum Chambers - RB / CB / CDM
