After years of investment into the academy, the rewards are starting to show.
You know Leo Shahar and Sean Neave, but there is SO much more talent to discover.
From a CM with 60 G/A to the best GK talent in the country, here are 11 #NUFC talents YOU need to know...

This tweet right here is why every #NUFC fan who thinks Steve Nickson leaving is the worst thing to ever happen just needs to calm down and stop acting like it's a disgrace.
He's great at his job, as are many people within our clubs recruitment team.
We'll be fine.
Steve Nickson was part of a recruitment team at #nufc. The last player he played a major role in identifying and signing was Sven Botman. He played a role in the signing of Bruno too 🙌🏻
He signed Allan Saint Maximin 👏🏻 and Miguel Almiron 👏🏻as well as Joelinton as a centre forward 😬
He’s not led transfers for a long time. He wasn’t behind the signing of Tonali, Thiaw, Hall, Isak, Osula, Gordon or Livramento. And no he wasn’t leading last summer’s less successful window either.
He leaves with everyone’s best wishes but Newcastle have got Ross Wilson leading things. Eddie Howe has the final say on players as he always has done. More hits than misses. They’ll be fine

Have you ever noticed this weird anti-#NUFC thing Fabrizio Romano does on Twitter?
Weird non-updates which contribute towards negative discourse and narratives around the club, including Aaron Ramsdale's "HEAVY" loan fee, while not mentioning loan fees more than twice the size for Chelsea, for example Joao Felix??
I discussed this on my channel yesterday, if you haven't watched yet, go check it out @TomTalksToon on YT.
🚨 Marco Palestra to Newcastle not expected to happen despite interest and availability to pay what Atalanta requested.
The player has not opened doors to the move while Inter remain in talks for €45m package, still not enough for Atalanta.

might need to write a new one soon...

With Nick Pope's injury and limitations, on top of Tosin Adarabioyo joining Chelsea, Newcastle United are in the market for a new goalkeeper.
Now that #NUFC have submitted a £16m bid for James Trafford, let's take a look at Burnley's 21-year-old shot-stopper 🧤

You've all heard of his brother, but have you heard of Guéla Doué?
The 23y/o RB would be a good option for #NUFC this window, having just registered 2 goals 6 assists in 24 league appearances in 25/26.
Good technically, ball carrier, defensively sound:

If the fee is closer to the newly reported base £15m £3m add-ons than the initial reported £21m 3m for Ewen Jaouen, then the deal for gets even better for #NUFC.
The Frenchman is set to have his medical tomorrow, and sign as the first new face in the door this window.

With the signing of Ewen Jaouen being everything but announced by the club, read my thread below to learn more about #NUFC’s new French GK.
From outstanding traits, to underlying (and potentially worrying) stats, enjoy reading ⤵️

#NUFC need a new no.1, and the club are looking to Europe to bring one in.
From visiting the training ground, to agreeing personal terms, Ewen Jaouen looks set to join.
From his CRAZY profile to his worrying underlying stats, here's why he COULD be a TOP buy.

Just seeing some of things that Cherki has been doing tonight...
The bloke is a pure genius; to think some fans didn't want him at #NUFC because of "attitude issues"...
What a player - the best ball mastery and most talented player in the world.

#NUFC have needed a left-footed RW for ages, with Miguel Almiron being the last to play for the club.
Today the club launched a hijack bid for the extremely talented Zadok Yohanna.
From ridiculous pace to RIDICULOUS stats, here's why he'd be an unbelievable buy.

There are no guarantees with any 18-year-old.
But players with this combination of dribbling ability, athleticism, goal threat and confidence are rare.
The raw materials are all there, which is why LOTS of European clubs want his signature, and why he'd be a GREAT buy for NUFC.
