Newcastle United has seen a number of players reject to the club this summer, and Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand cannot understand why the club has been beaten so often
Manchester United icon Rio Ferdinand is confused about why so many goals have rejected offers from Newcastle United this summer. The current window has been a ruthless headache for Magpies Manager Eddie Howe.
As if the drama surrounding the wish of Alexander Isak to become a member of Liverpool is not stressful, a large number of transfer goals have rejected the club in favor of others. Players such as Liam Delap, Joao Pedro, Hugo Ekitike and, perhaps the most heartbreaking, Benjamin Sesko have all rejected movements to St James' Park.
Given that the Magpies are currently participating in the Champions League and won the Carabao Cup last season, their recruitment team has to wonder. Ferdinand is another controversial figure who cannot understand why so many players have avoided the club.
Speaking in his show Rio Ferdinand, when they questioned why players continue to reject Newcastle, the former English skipper replied: “I don't know.
“Why doesn't anyone want to go there? Do you know what? The northeast, what a place to play football. If you said to some players:” You go every week in St. James Park, Full House, supported by the hills, “it's an incredible atmosphere.”
Despite countless rejections, United has succeeded in securing the signature of Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest for £ 55 million, Chronicle reports live.
Howe was also able to join new central defender Malick Thiaw, who joins AC Milan for around £ 34.6 million, including add-ons, to his team that pulled Aston Villa on Saturday. Jacob Ramsey is now also a member of Villa.
Newcastle is said to be also hot on the heels of Brentford Vooruit Yoane Wissa, but it is difficult to ignore the current Saga with Superstar Isak.
The Swedish striker was noticeably absent in the 0-0 draw against Villa, causing Howe Anthony Gordon used as a spontaneous center, flanked by Harvey Barnes and Elanga on the wings.
It seems unlikely that Isak will put the United Jersey again after he has declared his refusal to play for the club. Howe, however, keeps the door ajar for further discussions with Isak and the club, if he decides to keep himself busy.
“Nothing has changed. The door is good and really open,” said Howe. “He has to decide what he wants to do. We want a resolution. We need that clarity. You don't need any form of distraction.
“I have no control over that. There is one person who can control that. Let's wait. I made my attitude clear. I concentrate on the team.”
The Magpies will welcome Liverpool in St. James' Park for their next Premier League match per week on Monday. Given the simmering tension between the two clubs this season, the ruling champions can expect a fiery reception.
