Conor Newton to quit Newcastle

Newcastle youngster Connor Newton looks set to quit his club, after admitting that interest from Celtic is flattering. The midfielder spent last season on loan at St. Mirren.

“I haven’t signed on with Newcastle yet but there is a deal on the table,” said the player.


“I need to have a proper look at it once I get myself together. The past six months is probably the most football I’ve played in my career so far so I just need to rest up for a few weeks. I understand there is an offer from St Mirren as well so that is definitely still a possibility.


“I’d like to have made my decision within the next two weeks as the start of the season isn’t far off. It’s a big decision on whether I stay with Newcastle or move on."
