Report: Newcastle in talks to sign Tottenham star, Choudhury talks ongoing

By Will Butcher

Football site 90Min claim Newcastle are in talks to raid Tottenham Hotspur for United States international Cameron Carter-Vickers before the deadline.

Carter-Vickers, 23, is in the final year of his contract. He is likely to be on the move before the end of the day. Newcastle have been linked this summer.

The powerhouse centre-back clocked up his fifth senior outing for Spurs earlier this season – but has been on loan at six different English sides.

Sheffield United, Luton Town, Swansea City, Ipswich Town, Bournemouth and Stoke have all brought in Carter-Vickers on loan from Tottenham.

Now, Newcastle are in talks to get Carter-Vickers – ahead of a loan deal despite his contract situation. The Toon need additions.

Carter-Vickers to Newcastle: Tottenham man not the only one

It seems Newcastle have finally kicked into gear on deadline day. Carter-Vickers is a good signing for the Toon if they can get him over the line.

But the report states that Newcastle remain in talks to get Leicester’s Hamza Choudhury – again on loan. Newcastle are also speaking to Chelsea.

The report says a couple of players are the subject of talks between Newcastle and Chelsea ahead of late moves on deadline day.

But Carter-Vickers will be a much-needed addition. Toon fans are frustrated at a lack of signings, hardly improving since last season.

So, at least there is some good news – albeit incredibly late – for Toon fans.
