Report: Newcastle and Southampton want Weston McKennie

According to reports from the Daily Mail, Newcastle and Southampton are keen to sign Weston McKennie in the summer transfer window.

The Magpies find themselves in a strange situation ahead of the new season. The much anticipated Saudi-takeover hasn’t materialized which means the club is stuck with Mike Ashley as their owner.

Ashley is an unpopular figure at Newcastle and there is a suggestion that he is emotionally detached from the club. He wants to sell the club at the earliest, but unless the Premier League gives a green signal for the takeover to go-ahead, he can’t do anything.
