🚨 Jacob Ramsey an #NUFC target this summer, per
@theathleticfc.bsky.social. FFT understands #AVFC open to sale & player's terms not likely to be an issue for Newcastle to meet. Villa up against PSR having missed out on Champs Lge rev. Ramsey would help Newcastle meet UEFA homegrown quota.

El Khannouss struggled to have a huge impact in a poor Leicester team last season, but numbers from his time in Belgium show player's upside in a stronger team.

Work-rate, ball-carrying & how involved he is in dangerous phases were constants across past two seasons. #nufc

German club reporting an option to buy in Wöber’s loan deal. #lufc

Joe Donnohue @joedonnohue.bsky.social · Jul 4

Understanding is that a loan move benefits #LUFC more from a PSR standpoint. Selling Wöber this summer at a price below ~£5m would see the club report a loss on their 2025/26 accounts, due to player amortisation costs.
