Transfer interest is building around Pascal Struijk, with Newcastle understood to be weighing-up a move for the Leeds defender. While there has been no official bid as yet, the club may act swiftly if they decide to pursue the deal before the transfer window slams shut. While Newcastle and Leeds continue talks, no breakthrough has been reported. Aston Villa and Tottenham reportedly may still have an interest, but currently the focus is on getting this deal across the line. Across the season 25/26, Newcastle have let in 45 goals in 31 (1.45 per game), roughly in line with the Premier League average. Pascal Struijk would be expected to give them some extra stability and depth for the tougher stretches of the season. Leeds continue to be linked with Aral Simsir while Newcastle are also rumoured to be tracking Ben White, Robin Risser and Marcus Thuram.
