Newcastle miss out on Abdulkudir Khosanov from the lens
Newcastle are yet to secure any new signings this month, despite being heavily linked with Abdukodir Khusanov. The Uzbekistan international eventually joined Manchester City in a deal worth around £34m.
Khosanov's client, Jirat Khasbulin, recently said the move to Newcastle came close to completing the transfer before he went through with it.

“Well, they didn't have enough time. Maybe if they had made an earlier offer, they would have had time to reach an agreement. Then City squeezed the lens so much that it would have been difficult to make a similar offer. I was also influenced by the fact that the French needed this money.”
