Can't believe I'm typing this, but we lost our beautiful sister Bex today. She was the most warm and loving person. A wonderful mother, a rock of a sister and an adored daughter to my parents. We're all devastated. Love you forever big Sis ❤️
Unreal.... Just been called by security at Sky Studios.... Thanks to whoever paid this kind uber driver to deliver a bag of Stella cans🤦🏻♂️😂😂

I've waited a LONG time to return to Wembley with

. I'll be there again this time. Minus the cigarette and eyebrow piercing. I'll probably still have the can 😂👀🖤🤍
What a day! Thanks to all the fans who took time to chat to me and mini Gravesy (who's now a fully fledged hooligan 😂). Superb support as always! Limbs and bodies everywhere when Jonjo scored. Get in!!!!

have agreed deal with Lille to sign Sven Botman. Understand fee is in the region of £35m. Botman expected to travel to Tyneside for medical next week to finalise personal terms and complete deal. Newcastle beaten off competition from Italian giants AC Milan.

Walking into LONDON King's Cross Station and the busker's playing bloody LOCAL HERO beautifully on a semi acoustic... The sound fills the concourse....

That's me signed off at

Deal to take Bruno Guimaraes to
#nufc
all but done. Fee agreed, medical passed. We await official confirmation from clubs. Bruno will play for Brazil on Weds then travel to UK to meet new teammates and Eddie Howe etc on Thursday. Latest on
@SkySportsNews
. What an incredible coup.
#nufc
owners make sensational start to window with capture of Trippier. Offered an initial £10m on Friday and have settled closer to £12m. Bargain! Goes straight into the starting lineup and adds real quality at right back and set pieces. Personals shud be straightforward.
A few hours ago in the immediate hours after Lingard move blocked, last minute forward options were still being considered at Benton HQ. However
#nufc
must go with FIVE - Trippier, Wood, BrunoG, Targett and Burn. A very respectable window. Well done to to all involved. 🖤🤍👏
Expecting transfer breakthroughs at
#nufc
this week. Been fairly amused by some of the names mentioned in certain places recently, however there are players under serious discussion that haven't been mentioned anywhere yet. 👀 Follow
@SkySportsNews
for the latest.
Credit to
#nufc
hierarchy for the Botman capture. Another player who bought into the Newcastle United project in January (but Lille refused to sell till now). Club finally get their man, he finally gets his move. Job done and welcome along Sven. ⚫⚪🤝
Expecting some big news from
#nufc
soon. Once the marquee 👀centre midfielder is confirmed... I expect them to finalise a centre back. Three on the list, Dan Burn is one. Expect them to sign at least one of them though.
TRIPPIER SIGNS 2.5 years (+ option) with
#nufc
. Will wear number 15.😉 Fee £12m+. SUPERB business. Last season
@trippier2
won La Liga, was La Liga Team Of Year, started Euro 2020 final. New regime officially up and running (talks underway with numerous others 👀)
@SkySportsNews
Huge confidence
#NUFCTakeover
can finally be pushed through. We await official confirmation from club and official Premier League approval, but agreement thought to be close. Keep up to date on

For those asking... No word of a lie. I've been carrying a tin of PEK in my work bag for the best part of two years. When you see that tin on my Instagram story, you'll know it's official. 😂

Steve Bruce (once again!) calling for "clarity" on

. 4 months ago the tests began. 3 weeks ago claims it was "close". 2 days till season ends. 3 days till transfer window opens. 7 weeks till next season starts! Club in limbo. Fans in the dark. Time for answers.
#nufc
Tonight's defeat for Leicester against Liverpool ensures Newcastle United were the only team in bottom HALF of The Premier League to pick up a WIN this gameweek.
#nufc
Happy New Year everyone!!! Pretty easy choosing my own sporting/working/reporting highlight of 2021. The

story of course! 😜
Look forward to hosting

@SkySportsNews

So bloody happy! Yes it was scrappy second half. We played some scintillating football in the opening half an hour. Must say huge credit to Southampton for not lying down. But ultimately... nothing else matters.
#NUFC
are off to Wembley!! Incredible!!! 😭🖤🤍
As reported happy to confirm
#nufc
have agreed a fee for number one target Joe Willock. Understand the total fee is in the region of £25m. Personals and medical still to be finalised. Personally wouldn't expect either to be a problem.

🚨 Understand Alexander Isak is in line to make his Newcastle United debut on Sunday. Although
#nufc
are still awaiting International clearance,
@SkySportsNews
has learned that necessary paperwork WAS submitted by the club in time to meet the weekend deadline.
#nufc
at Xmas. 7th in the Premier League, seconds away from (another) cup semi final AND Champions League last 16 (despite so called "Group Of Death"). Injuries AND cup draws have been horrendous. Eddie Howe is absolutely MINT. It's a great group of players too. 🔛🔛 🖤🤍
Sources have told
@SkySportsNews
that Mauricio Pochettino is the number one manager target for
#nufc
next season, should the Saudi backed consortium complete their takeover. Full details including further details on finances etc to come on SSN today. Stay tuned...
Well done everyone in that stadium today! Just had my Dad on the phone. Can't get his words out, full of emotion. Tells me it was the most incredible atmosphere he's experienced in years. NOTHING more powerful than a UNITED Toon Army.
#nufc
♥️
We've stood together through the bad, the good and the absolutely awful for 33 years. I'm not sure I've ever heard such noise or felt such optimism inside St James Park as I did tonight. 👏
#NUFC
What an incredible window this is shaping up to be for a few teams. I can see the "traditional top six" being obliterated in the coming years as we edge towards more of a "top 10". Most competitive league in the world.
#PremierLeague
Just now awaiting official confirmation from
#nufc
on Matt Targett deal. Fee agreed, medical passed, terms agreed. Bish, bash, bosh... Really smart signing that! Great business. 🤝
@SkySportsNews
Devastating to have to break this tragic news this morning. Christian was a lovely man and adored by the
#nufc
fans. Thoughts with his family and friends. He'll be missed ❤️
🇧🇷 𝗕𝗥𝗨𝗡𝗢 🇧🇷
Newcastle United are thrilled to announce the signing of Bruno Guimarães from Olympique Lyonnais on a four-and-a-half year deal.

A career highlight to break that Almiron to

news on

just then. I was standing in the Leazes End in my B&W shirt when we signed Owen back in 2005. Didn't think then I'd be standing in the SSN studio when they finally toppled it 14 years later! 😅

Sat listening to Big River on the train. Think it's the first time I've ever truly stopped and reflected. What an unbelievable few months man. Thought I'd share with you guys. One of them moments I guess.

Was still hope this morning that Lingard to
#nufc
could happen, however Newcastle and
#mufc
a long way apart on valuation still, with time rapidly running out.⏳ Looks increasingly like Ekitike, Burn and Targett will join Trippier, Wood and BrunoG. Let's be honest...
#whatawindow
So the shares have officially been transferred to Newcastle United's new owners. The money has been transferred to the former owner Mike Ashley. Statement incoming.
#NUFCTakeover
#nufc
#pek
#nufc
have submitted improved offer for Lille defender Sven Botman. Lille value him at over 30 million Euros. He has three years left on his contract. He's Newcastle's primary centre back target.
@SkySportsNews
Shaping up to be a busy day for
#nufc
. Burn close... Ekitike talks and Lingard final push. Might not get all their targets, but they're trying. Pray for

I see this petition is approaching 90k signatures.

fans calling for clarity and answers over recent failed takeover of their club. Countless local MPs have also now got involved and are supporting the campaign. via

A cracking shift on

#nufc
Was involved in an incident today. My tyre blew as I was driving full pelt down the M6. Wife, three kids and dog all with me. Thankfully we're safe and sound but shaken and emotional. Could have been so much worse. So many kind people have helped us. Look after each other. X❤️
👀 Look at this

fans.
@premierleague
Minutes Per Goal Ratio... Only Erling Haaland is ahead of Alexander Isak. That's 6 goals in 7 starts for the Swede.
#prolific
Is it just me or does Chris Wood have a "cult hero" feel to him? Needs to embrace the challenge and hit the ground running. Busy day tomorrow for the lad. Medical in the morning, then hopefully official announcement a bit later on. I'm live on
@SkySportsNews
at 1900 btw 👀😂

#nufc
pushing hard to make James Maddison their record signing. Clearly getting encouragement from various sides. My feeling is there's still significant work to be done to make the deal happen, but also think it would be a hugely significant signing if they can make it happen.
Newcastle are pushing to sign Sven Botman as soon as possible. Talks entering into key stages with Lille, AC Milan still in the race but NUFC are now advancing. 🇳🇱
#NUFC
Negotiations with Newcastle started last January, Botman is open for this PL possibility.

Devastated for Pope. He'll be hurting tonight without doubt. But I fully back Karius to show up and do us proud at Wembley. Despite defeat
#NUFC
showed plenty of character in the second half. Maxi was class. Summary: Fourth in the PL with a final next week. Cammmaaannnn 🖤🤍🖤🤍
#nufc
ready to walk away from Diego Carlos deal. It's thought original price quoted was €30m but Sevilla changed (⬆️) numerous times. Tough on player who's desperate to sign. Newcastle now actively looking elsewhere. They have money, won't be taken advantage of.
@SkySportsNews
Breaking: Chris Wood to
#nufc
DONE! 2.5 year deal (+ option), will make his debut v Watford on Saturday wearing number 20. Burnley didn't want to sell but release clause WAS triggered. Signing number 2 for the new owners. Over 35m spent in first 13 days of Jan window. 👀
Call me shallow but when the
#nufc
takeover went through, one of the first things I thought was "wow, can't wait to play
@FootballManager
". With that in mind... I'm gannin in...
#fm22beta
As broken by Telegraph just now. Sky Sports understands
#nufc
ARE in for James Maddison. Substantial bid rejected thus far. 👀
@skysports_sheth
is accross the story.
This is what it's all about! Another great win for

. Commitment from the amazing fans, graft from the commited players, warmth from a top head coach, communication from the board room... It all feels very
