Garang Kuol arrived on a everlasting deal from Central Coast Mariners in the beginning of January and the 18-year-old has since been despatched out on loan to Hearts within the Premiership.
This implies that Dan Ashworth has not added to Eddie Howe’s squad to bolster the facet heading into the second half of the season however the Magpies chief nonetheless has time left to alter that earlier than the tip of the month.
Newcastle have allowed striker Chris Wood, who solely joined the membership from Burnley presently final 12 months, to signal for fellow Premier League facet Nottingham Forest on mortgage and that leaves a spot within the squad for attacking reinforcements to come back in.
The Sun not too long ago reported that the Magpies are all for a swoop to signal Everton centre-forward Dominic Calvert-Lewin in a £35m deal this month, though they’re ready to attend till the summer season if they should.

Would Calvert-Lewin be good signing for Newcastle?
Yes!
Not for me!
Howe should now push for a deal to be carried out this month because the Everton marksman could be a dream substitute for Wood at St. James’ Park heading into the ultimate months of the season, as a result of potential link-up that he could have with Kieran Trippier.
Calvert-Lewin’s former teammate, Richarlison, as soon as hailed him as a “nightmare” for defenders and claimed that the gem is “like (Cristiano) Ronaldo” in the best way that he leaps over gamers to win headers.
19 of his 46 Premier League targets have come along with his head and this implies that the England worldwide could be an enormous risk from crosses and set-pieces for the Magpies.
