Newcastle have reportedly added Nicolas Seiwald to their shortlist of transfer targets. The Leipzig midfielder is rumoured to be attracting attention ahead of the next transfer window, with insiders claiming preliminary talks could soon take place. Negotiations are still active, and with no other teams linked, Newcastle appear to have a clear path to completing the deal. So far this season, Newcastle are steady at both ends (1.39 goals scored per game, 1.48 goals conceded per game). The role for Nicolas Seiwald would be to keep that balance while lifting performances across the pitch. Speculation continues to connect Newcastle with Yan Diomande, Jeremy Monga and Manuel Ugarte while no fresh rumours surround Leipzig. Looking for Newcastle transfer rumours?
