Newcastle United are scouring the market to find a replacement for Dan Ashworth with the sporting director set for Manchester United – and they could raid West Ham United to fill that incoming void.
Ashworth is expected to take the role at Old Trafford, having made it clear to Newcastle that he would like to join Manchester United. He has since been put on gardening leave at Newcastle ahead of a move.
Newcastle then, are on the lookout for a new sporting director. 90Min state that four names are on the Toon’s shortlist, with Paul Mitchell top of the list. He has impressed at Monaco and Tottenham Hotspur.
But there are three others being considered. Brentford’s Phil Giles, Roma chief Tiago Pinto and West Ham man Tim Steidten. The German only joined West Ham last summer as the club’s transfer chief.
He is already being linked with a move to Liverpool, with his connections to Xabi Alonso highlighted. It is said he may find it difficult to turn down a move to Anfield – and has commented on such a prospect.
