PREMIER - Newcastle United leading the race to sign Man Utd's centreback

TRANSFERmarketWEB.com

Newcastle United are the bookmakers' favourites to sign Phil Jones ahead of Tuesday night's transfer deadline.

Steve Bruce has admitted he is not in a position to make another permanent signing this month, but the Magpies manager remains hopeful of being able to secure a new addition on loan.

Bruce has been targeting a new centre-half for the last couple of transfer windows, with deals having fallen through for both Rob Holding and Kristoffer Ajer. Florian Lejeune left Tyneside on a permanent basis earlier this summer, so Bruce would like to add another central defender to the ranks.

Jones has endured a nightmare couple of seasons with injury, and has not started a Premier League game since February 2020. He is expected to return to full fitness within a month or so though, and Manchester United are open to loan offers for the former England international.
