Newcastle United transfer rumours as Magpies urged to sign Ukrainian wonderkid Mykhaylo Mudryk

Here are your Newcastle United transfer rumours on Monday 3 October.

Magpies urged to sign Ukrainian ace Mykhaylo Mudryk

Newcastle United have been told the signing of Ukranian wonderkid Mykhaylo Mudryk would be a real statement of intent.

As recently reported by the i, the Magpies do hold an interest in Mudryk who has shone of late at Shakhtar Donetsk.

The 21 year-old has also drawn plenty of interest from a host of other Premier League outfits, with Arsenal, Everton, Brentford and Liverpool are mooted as potential destinations for the winger.

If Newcastle could pull off such a deal for one of Europe's hottest prospects, it could prove to be a real coup for Eddie Howe and co.

And journalist Pete O'Rourke believes signing Mudryk would send out a real statement of intent to the rest of Europe.

"It’d be a huge sign of intent if they were to get Mudryk ahead of all these other top clubs across Europe that are chasing him," O'Rourke told This Is Football.

"Newcastle are now among those clubs looking at the Ukrainian but I think Shakhtar Donetsk are not very keen to lose him right now.

"So, a deal in January might be hard to do."

Portugal loan move mooted for Garang Kuol

Newcastle United's new signing Garang Kuol has been linked with a loan move to Portugal in January.

The 18-year-old Australian international recently signed for the Magpies from Central Coast Mariners, although he won't officially join Eddie Howe's side until the turn of the year.

Australian outlet The Age report Kuol is expected to head out on loan to a club in Europe in order to get past any potential work permit issues. They claim Kuol is likely to join a Portuguese side before returning to Newcastle.

And a good showing at the World Cup later this year for Australia could mean he plays a part in the second half of Newcastle's season too.
