Birmingham target Newcastle talent and Jamaal Lascelles offers arrive - Report
The January window has been a quiet one so far, with exits for young talents an early theme as our senior squad waits for potential reinforcements in defence following long-term injuries to Tino Livramento and Fabian Schar.
Two more Mags have been linked with potential moves this week, with an out-of-contract Under-21 talent joining Jamaal Lascelles in receiving interest.
Birmingham eyeing Toon talent
According to The Mail, Newcastle United talent Alfie Harrison is receiving interest from Birmingham City.
Not details are given, but the Championship side may be eyeing up a cut-price move for the 20-year-old, who could leave on the cheap this month now he's entered the final six months of his contract at Newcastle.
Despite paying a seven-figure fee to land the midfielder from Man City back in February 2024, the attacking midfielder has struggled to make a big impression on Tyneside.
While his record within the Under-21 set up has been promising, bagging 12 assists in the Premier League 2 over the past season and a half, his inclusion in Eddie Howe's senior squad has faded, with 16-year-old Sam Alabi getting the nod instead.
Lascelles offered move?
The same report shares an update on Jamaal Lascelles' future, suggesting our former skipper could be set for a move abroad.
The Mail state that Lascelles is 'attracting offers from Turkey', with January our final chance to land a small fee for the long-serving 32-year-old, as he too is out of contract this summer.
This isn't the first time Super Lig sides have been tipped to sign the defender, with Besiktas and Trabzonspor both linked over the past few transfer windows.
The former Nottingham Forest man has only featured twice this season and is struggling to regain full fitness, with Eddie Howe recently revealing that the centre-back is not feeling comfortable in his body, keeping him out of training.
