Recruited for €11.5m in 2020 from Villarreal, Karl Toko Ekambi is no longer welcome at Olympique Lyonnais and will join Saudi Arabia.

The Magpies, who return to the Champions League this season, continue to go from strength to strength and sign Lewis Hall from Chelsea.

This arrangement with the Blues allows Newcastle to circumvent Financial Fair Play. Nice blow for the club under the Saudi flag since Hall is considered a prospect at his post across the Channel.
