Newcastle, along with other Premier League clubs, have presented their sporting projects in recent days and also outlined their financial proposals. Ouedraogo would like to stay in Germany, but if Bayern keep dragging their feet, he may have no choice but to move abroad.

Newcastle is a potential destination for the 17-year-old Schalke’s rising star Assan Ouedraogo. Representatives from the Premier League clubs have all visited Schalke's home stadium to scout the teenager. Ouedraogo’s current contract extends until 2027, it’s not clear how much Schalke will ask for, if they were to sell.
