Jarrad Branthwaite transfer boost?

Newcastle have put an end to their pursuit of Everton star Dominic Calvert-Lewin.

According to Sky Sports, the Toffees’ £40million valuation of Calvert-Lewin proved to be too much for the Magpies.

That means the Merseysiders will have to find another way to raise funds amid their ongoing FFP drama.

That may pave the way for Manchester United getting Jarrad Branthwaite, although he would also come with a hefty price.

Pressure mounts as Prem clubs eye deals

Prem chiefs have warned club bosses they must not use loopholes in the rulebook to avoid PSR penalties, writes MARTIN LIPTON.

Aston Villa, Chelsea, Everton and Newcastle have all been involved in a series of possible deals that could be completed by the official accounting end of the season on Sunday.

Villa have already signed Everton youngster Lewis Dobbin, with midfielder Tim Iroegbunam moving the other way in a similar £9m deal.

Unai Emery’s side are also poised to sell England youth schemer Omari Kellyman to Chelsea for up to £19m while taking left back Ian Maatsen from the Stamford Bridge side for £37.5m.

Other possible deals could see Newcastle signing Everton’s England striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin to Newcastle while taking Toon winger Yankuba Minteh.

The transfers could allow all four clubs benefit from the accountancy rules around PSR, with clubs limited to £105m of “permitted losses” over three seasons.

Up to eight clubs are thought to be in danger of PSR breaches for this season, with the prospect of points deductions now real after the penalties imposed on Everton and Nottingham Forest last term.
