Newcastle are reportedly set to offer Anthony Gordon a new contract when he returns from his extended break.

The winger has been heavily linked with Liverpool in recent weeks, with an agreement said to have been in place for him to join the club as part of a deal which would have seen Joe Gomez join the Magpies.

However, sales elsewhere meant Newcastle were not forced to offload the England international to raise funds, and they are now working towards retaining his services.

The Athletic report that the Magpies intend on offering Gordon a new deal upon his return from his extended holiday in an attempt to fend off interest from Liverpool.

Tottenham are reportedly considering a move for Bournemouth striker Dominic Solanke as they scour the market for a new No. 9.

The 26-year-old struck 19 goals in the Premier League last season and impressed with his hold-up play and clinical finishing, which saw him work his way onto the shortlisted names of striker targets at Arsenal.

Fabrizio Romano reports that Tottenham are also interested in Solanke, although no formal bid has been submitted yet.

Spurs are keen to bolster their forward ranks as soon as possible and a bid in excess of £50m would test the resolve of the Cherries.

Fulham have reportedly submitted a third bid for Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.

According to Manchester Evening News, the new offer is worth £23million, which still falls short of the Red Devils’ valuation.

Erik ten Hag views McTominay as an ‘important squad player’ and would like to retain the services of the midfielder, but the Scotland international's contract expires next summer and a sale may therefore be required if the higher powers at the club are not willing to offer the academy graduate a new deal.

United are therefore willing to part ways with the McTominay if they receive an offer in the region of £30m.
