- Newcastle are 8/11 to sign Todd Cantwell with player missing from Norwich's squad last weekend
- The Toon are still 8/13 to stay up this season despite being in the bottom 3 in the Premier League
- Eddie Howe already third favourite to be the next manager to leave this season
Newcastle have a whole host of players linked this season
Newcastle recently announced the signing of Striker Chris Wood from relegation rivals Burnley, with even more signings set to arrive this window.
Todd Cantwell is 8/11 with bookies to be next through the door at St James' Park, from another relegation candidate in Norwich.
We're not sure if Newcastle are signing players to strengthen their side or to weaken everyone else around them meaning they stay up!
| Newcastle Transfer Target | Odds they sign this window | Probability |
|---|---|---|
| Sven Botman | 4/9 | 69.2% |
| Diego Carlos | 4/6 | 60% |
| Todd Cantwell | 8/11 | 57.9% |
| Anthony Martial | 2/1 | 33.3% |
| Jesse Lingard | 11/4 | 26.7% |
According to the odds, Newcastle aren't just looking at signing players from relegation candidates, but also looking at some big clubs around Europe.
With Anthony Martial and Jesse Lingard both included in the betting odds to sign from Manchester United, it'll be interesting to see just how big Newcastle's pulling power will be this window.
The Toon still 8/13 to stay up despite 1 win all season
It's fair to say that the first half of this season hasn't exactly gone smoothly for Newcastle.
The club currently find themselves sat in the bottom three in the Premier League, with just one win this season.
At odds of 8/13 with bookmakers to stay up, they clearly think that Eddie Howe and his team will turn things around and get out of the relegation zone.
With the signings of Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood already so far this month, it's clear that the hierarchy are doing everything in their power to help Howe.
Howe already third fav to leave next this season
Despite only being at the club for two months, Eddie Howe is already third favourite in the market to leave next this season.
The weight of expectation on Howe's shoulders means it comes as no surprise that that is the case.
With the money in Newcastle now with their new owners, it may be that they pull the trigger quicker than usual.
At odds of 10/1, he's still behind Rafa Benitez and Claudio Ranieri in the market.
