Newcastle United have reportedly added a new name into the mix as they look for a new striker signing before the end of the summer. According to the Daily Mail's Craig Hope, the Magpies are now also looking at Atletico Madrid striker Alexander Sorloth. The Norway international has been prolific during his time in La Liga, scoring 24 goals in all competitions last season, while he's also shone in spells at Villarreal and Real Sociedad.

Newcastle United are set to sanction the departure of one star to their local rivals. The Magpies are expected to be busy customers as we approach the final week of the transfer window, with Alexander Isak's future the biggest talking point that is yet to be resolved. Elsewhere, Yoane Wissa and Ollie Watkins continue to be linked with their own moves to St. James' Park, but an outgoing seems to have been given the correct sign-off in the past 24 hours.

Newcastle are preparing for Liverpool to return with a new bid of between 120-130m for their Sweden forward Alexander Isak, 25. (Teamtalk), external Wolves are facing a fight to keep Norway striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, as Newcastle are pushing to sign the 25-year-old for around 60m. (Express and Star), external Manchester United have informed Napoli that they are open to both a loan with an option or obligation to buy for their Denmark forward Rasmus Hojlund, 22.

Reports from Spanish journalist Guillem Balague suggest that Real Madrid remain unconvinced the 24-year-old would be open to a move to Newcastle United, even if the Magpies were to step up their long-standing interest. While Newcastle have been linked with Rodrygo throughout the summer, no formal bid has been placed. The Brazilian attacker has seen little playing time under new manager Xabi Alonso and that has increased speculation about his future, linking him with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu.
