Here are your Newcastle United transfer rumours on Sunday, 11 December.
"He's a big step above Rondon" Pundit claims Everton should sign Newcastle United forward Chris Wood.
Former Leeds United striker Noel Whelan believes Everton should look to sign Newcastle United forward Chris Wood in January.
With Wood set to play third choice striker for Eddie Howe's Magpies due to the return of Alexander Isak from injury, the New Zealand international could be available to leave St James' Park in the upcoming transfer window.
However, given Isak's injury problems, and Callum Wilson's past fitness issues, letting Wood go would be a risky option for Newcastle.

The Magpies paid £25m for Wood last January, meaning they would almost certainly look to recoup a sum around that mark if they did choose to sell the 31-year-old, which they could then reinvest.
And Whelan believes Everton are the perfect landing spot of the Kiwi forward, who could provide Frank Lampard's side with added depth.
"He’s a big step above Rondon," Whelan told Football Insider.
"Calvert-Lewin is a player who thrives from that service from wide areas, and Chris Wood would be exactly the same.
"I do believe they need more quality in January. If Everton can get him at the right price, he’d be a welcome addition to this team.
"I think a deal like that would suit both parties. Newcastle had to sign him at the time, but they’re now looking for bigger and better players. This could be the right time for a club like Everton to get a good deal."
Magpies linked with highly rated Danish youngster Theo Sander
Newcastle United are just one of a host of Premier League clubs monitoring highly rated Danish teenage shot stopper Theo Sander.
According to TEAMtalk, Newcastle, Arsenal, Aston Villa and Brentford are all interest in signing the Danish youth international.
The 17-year-old became the youngest goalkeeper in Danish Superliga history this season, making his professional debut for AaB Fodbold in August.
