The bee has a replacement and will release Visa for 35 million; Newcastle is interested in Larson, and it will cost 65 million.

Hupu August 8th News Daily Mail's famous reporter Craig Hope wrote the exclusive weekly report of Newcastle.

Newcastle United returned to the starting point during a striker's search, and the drawing board looked more like a crime scene than a strategic plan.

What does this mean for Alexander Isaac who wants to leave? We can reveal that he will not be participating in the Sierra Cup against Espanyol and Atletico Madrid this weekend.

However, he will not join Liverpool until Newcastle signs the striker to replace him and Callum Wilson, who left in a free transfer in June.

I heard there are currently two shortlists—one for Isaac and the other for Wilson—but it is also possible that two people on one will eventually become their top targets.

Anyway, the club's signing team is working hard, just like they did all summer, even if Newcastle does seem to be hitting walls everywhere.

Joan-Visa (Brentford)

We reported in early July that Newcastle was interested in Visa, and all the information I had indicated that the deal would be finalized.

The deal is achieved depending on whether Brentford can find a replacement, and one name that someone has revealed to me in recent hours is Dango Ouatara of Bournemouth. If Brentford makes progress on Visa’s signings (or any offensive target), Visa will move to Newcastle immediately.

The 28-year-old is eager to join and has informed the senior executives of Newcastle, so they have been patient. For the Magpie, a player who is eager to join is a scarce resource this summer.

Visa scored 19 goals in the Premier League last season, without any penalty, and rarely missed the game - Eddie Howe and others were very optimistic about him and believed he could play quickly.

I heard that around £35 million should be enough to finalize the deal, but Brentford may demand a higher price.

Jorgen Strand Larson (Wolves)

Last week, when we revealed that the Norwegian player appeared on Newcastle United's shortlist, I was told that he was a "dark horse". Nothing I've heard since stopped me from writing about the stories they are interested in.

In fact, Newcastle United really likes Larson. They have heard a lot of positive reviews about his character, and he scored 14 goals for the struggling team in his debut season in the Premier League, which has also attracted people's attention. All reports about him are positive.

At present, Newcastle United has not made any offer, but I will not rule out this possibility. Wolves want to sell the 25-year-old for £65m, which may be a shame, but I know he ranks higher on the shortlist than many others.

Larson only transferred from Celta to Wolves this summer for £23m, but there are reports that the deal is still possible.
