Your Newcastle United evening headlines for Friday, June 17.
Botman latest
Sven Botman's holiday is under way without the Dutch Under-21 international getting his wish when it comes to his future. The former Ajax youth player has opted to wait to see if AC Milan can come to a solution as far as making an acceptable offer to Lille is concerned.

Magpies monitoring McNeill
Newcastle are said to be one of a whole host of Premier League clubs interested in Burnley forward Dwight McNeill this summer. According to reports via 90min, some six top-flight sides have enquired regarding the 22-year-old, with new manager Vincent Kompany tasked with keeping hold of the starlet.
The Rochdale born winger featured in every single one of the Clarets 38 Premier League games last season, with Burnley looking to bounce back following relegation on the final day of the 21/22 campaign.

Eddie Howe's side finished in 11th place during the last campaign and bookmakers have begun offering odds on a top-six finish for the Toon.
