Newcastle beating Aston Villa to the signing of Manchester United defender Axel Tuanzebe would be a huge statement of intent ahead of the new Premier League season.
The Chronicle recently reported that the Magpies are in pole position ahead of the Villans to sign the 23-year-old on a season-long loan deal.
The St James’ Park faithful are restless at the moment. Steve Bruce hasn’t made one single signing yet. And the Toon Army are fearing the worst ahead of the 2021/22 Premier League campaign.
