According to various outlets, Newcastle are seriously considering a move for Aston Villa midfielder, John McGinn. While nothing concrete has emerged yet, the player's name has reportedly featured in internal discussions about possible reinforcements ahead of the run-in. Newcastle have laid out their intentions, but valuation and timing remain under debate. Everton are keeping tabs in case talks collapse or progress slows further. Newcastle are only scoring 0.67 goals per game (4 in 6) this season, which suggests they need more creativity in the middle. John McGinn would be seen as the link to raise the tempo and feed the attack. Aston Villa have also been linked with Alex Remiro, Mateus Fernandes and Gabriel while Newcastle are reportedly monitoring Alex Remiro, Marc Guehi and Ollie Watkins.
