As the clock ticks down to Transfer Deadline Day, things are starting to speed up a bit for Newcastle United in the transfer market.
We're still awaiting official confirmation of Miguel Almiron's move back to Atlanta United but there aren't expected to be any hiccups.
Jamie Miley looks set to join Hartlepool United on a permanent deal after being recalled from his loan at Newport County.
Meanwhile, the rumour mill has thrown up Matt Targett to Leeds, although that has been downplayed by the Championship side, and Kieran Trippier to Turkey.
Also linked with a move away from Newcastle this month is academy graduate and Eddie Howe favourite, Sean Longstaff who is being tracked by Everton.
The Chronicle are reporting that the Toffees are weighing up a £12 million move for the 27-year-old which may seem like a low figure, especially when you consider when he burst onto the scene there were rumours linking him with a move to Manchester United for £50 million.
While even we, as Longstaff's harshest critics, would agree that £12 million seems low, the fact that his sale would represent 'pure profit' in terms of PSR with him being an academy product, does make the deal more appealing.
David Moyes is said to be an admirer of Longstaff's and Everton could certainly do with a fresh face or two as they once again battle relegation.
However, getting Longstaff to turn his back on the club he loves who are one game away from a cup final and are chasing Champions League football may prove difficult, even if he is sliding down the midfield pecking order.
With just a few days left in the window, this one will have to move quickly if there's any truth to it at all.
