The report says Newcastle co-owner Jamie Reuben and Marinakis staged discussions which included Toon CEO Darren Eales and Anderson’s agent, David…

Taiwo Awoniyi remained a Nottingham Forest player despite strong speculation regarding his future in January, but the most recent update on Forest’s transfer plans may reignite these suspicions in the summer. Forest elected to keep Awoniyi because Evangelos Marinakis was unable to find a clear deal to sign another striker in January, and he did not want to leave Nuno Espirito Santo short up front. In reality, Awoniyi’s season has been quite unpleasant, as Chris Wood has broken Forest scoring records, leaving the Nigerian striker with few opportunities. Awoniyi picked up a knock against Exeter City on his most recent…
