Jose Mourinho wants to sign a Newcastle United star and is ready to sacrifice a Real Madrid player, according to a source.
Premier League clubs Chelsea and Newcastle United are reportedly in talks over a swap deal involving two strikers.
Eddie Howe could probably be sacked purely for those Newcastle overpays last summer, but Liverpool and Man Utd were right to go big.
The £69million summer signing has been deployed as a midfielder in the second half of the campaign due to Newcastle's injury woes.
According to reports, Newcastle United are the 'favourites' to beat Spurs in the race to sign Manchester City star James Trafford.
Newcastle United have been advised to sign a "perfect" replacement for Nick Woltemade to help fix a "really tricky situation".
The Barcelona head coach is keen on working with his compatriot, who moved to Newcastle only last summer.
Alan Shearer says Nick Woltemade's form for Newcastle has been "nowhere near good enough" after another poor display against Everton.
Wayne Rooney said Nick Woltemade had become an 'issue' for Newcastle before the game; at half-time he was laying into the 'sloppy' so-called midfielder.
