Newcastle midfielder Joelinton says he is "fully fit" after overcoming the knee injury that ended his 2024-25 campaign early.

The Brazilian, 28, saw his season cut short in April when specialists recommended a period of rest.

On returning to prepare for the 2025-26 campaign, he told club media: "I feel good now. I've had a long time to recover. The start of it was very difficult as, personally, I was very frustrated about the injury at the end of the season.

"There was a lot of important games and I could have been with the team. I was very sad but I knew I had to step out and recover because of my knee as I couldn't help the team in the way I wanted. It was the best decision and I had enough time to recover and come back, starting with the guys in pre-season.

"My knee is good, I feel fully fit and happy. Injuries are not what you want but they can happen in football sometimes and you just have to deal with them and do everything you can to be fit. I now hope to have a season without injuries."

Ross originally joined the club as the academy's head of coach development in 2023 before moving to the position of head of strategic technical football partnerships.

"This is an exciting opportunity to help the club build on the outstanding progress and successes it has achieved on and off the pitch in recent seasons." Ross said in a statement.

Newcastle's new winger Anthony Elanga says what Eddie's Howe's side are building is "really special" and he wants "to help create more history."

The 23-year-old, who made the switch from Nottingham Forest on Friday, will add to Howe's attacking options as they prepare a return to Champions League football.

"It feels amazing and I am happy to be here," said Elanga. "I have seen some of the lads already and everyone has welcomed me with open arms.

"I am just so happy to be here and I am ready for the challenge. Newcastle have amazing players and staff and they have an amazing manager, who I am really excited to work under.

"I have had a good chat with Eddie Howe already and I've got a good idea of his plans for next seasons.

"We - I can say we because I am part of the team now - are building something special and I really want to buy into the culture of the club. It feels like the perfect time to join because they got the feeling of winning a trophy last season and I want to be part of that. I want to help create more history.

"The club is on an upward trajectory and what they are building is really special.

"As an opposition player, going to St James' Park is not easy. So to have the fans now with you, it will make it even better.

"I am really looking forward to playing there and putting on the black and white shirt. It isn't just a shirt or a job, it is a responsibility and privilege to the passionate fanbase.

"I am ready to show them what I can do."

BBC Nottingham presenter Arun Verma has given the lowdown on exactly what Newcastle fans should be expecting from winger Anthony Elanga, with his transfer to Tyneside set to be completed this week.

"When Forest bought Anthony Elanga, they bought him as a bit of a raw talent. People had seen what he was capable of at Manchester United but it wasn't working for him," Verma said.

"He needed to be coached, he needed to be understood a little bit more and he came to Forest, and he got given that opportunity. It was very similar to the Callum Hudson-Odoi situation of getting these players that people know are talented and saying 'come on, try and create your craft and hone it in and see what we can do'.

"Elanga arrived with bags of personality - frightening pace not only without the ball but with it as well - and not only that, he can finish, he can cross, he's got trickery in his locker but also, he doesn't know which foot is his best foot.

"So when you've got a player who can play on either flank, score with either foot, you have got someone that can cause a lot of problems.

"You look at Chris Wood's goals from last year and a lot of that came from Elanga being able to split the lines so, it's quite frightening to think what he might be capable of doing with his Swedish counterpart [Alexander Isak] at Newcastle."

Former Newcastle defender John Anderson believes Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford is "desperate" to join the Magpies this transfer window.

Discussing the potential transfer on BBC Radio Newcastle's Total Sport Newcastle United podcast, Anderson reflected on reports emanating from the Chronicle, external that the 22-year-old's price tag is set at £40m - and that Burnley are holding out for it.

"I don't know about this transfer," Anderson said.

"It comes down the fact a player is worth what you're prepared to pay for them. We were prepared to pay £55m for Anthony Elanga - I'm not sure how much we're prepared to pay for Trafford.

"We've offered £27m. How much higher will we go? I think it will come to a situation where they'll meet halfway, somewhere between £40m and £27m, around the £30m mark.

"It looks like he's a goalkeeper who's desperate to get in because of how long this has been going on so, you'd think this is a deal that will be done this summer."

Newcastle midfielder Sean Longstaff has caught the eye of newly promoted Leeds, but will he leave this summer?

The 27-year-old has made 214 senior appearances for the club, but played just 787 minutes in the Premier League last season after mainly coming on as a substitute.

"Longstaff seems to have fallen out of favour at Newcastle," said former Magpies defender John Anderson on BBC Radio Newcastle. "Even when he wasn't starting, Eddie Howe would always bring him on in games but since January he has fallen down the pecking order.

"He wasn't getting as much game time as he would have to wanted either, so he needs the move because he needs to be playing football.

"Everyone knows that Newcastle's midfield three picks itself now but the deal has got to be right.

"You can't let sentiment get in the way because if you want to progress and move forward then these decisions have to be made.

"I think Leeds' offer of £10m is too low and he is worth at least £15m if not more because of the experience he brings."

We asked for your views on Lee Clark's list of the top five greatest Newcastle United managers of all time. You can see his selections a little further down this page.

Here are some of your comments:

Darren: Eddie Howe is the best manager. The Newcastle team under Harvey was not all that special. Howe is a much better coach.

Brian: Arthur Cox was a good manager, gave us Kevin Keegan, Peter Beardsley and Chris Waddle. He won us promotion to the old First Division when we were in the doldrums.

While Howe is highly regarded amongst the fans who wrote in, the overwhelming feeling was the disappointment of not having Sir Bobby Robson on this list.

Neil: Bobby Robson is a must for the top five. Sacked far too early. I would go for Eddie Howe, Kevin Keegan, Bobby Robson, Joe Harvey and Arthur Cox in that order.

Bob: By any measure, Bobby Robson inherited a club still recovering from the shipwreck of the Keegan years and gave us back our pride and respect as a top-ranked club. Saw my first match in 1953, and I've seen them all.

Neil: How on earth is Bobby Robson not included? He dragged a team that was bottom of the Premier League to qualifying for the Champions League two seasons on the trot!

Richard: What about Sir Bobby Robson? Surely he should be in there, many would say, at the top.

Liverpool have been impressed by Eintracht Frankfurt's French striker Hugo Ekitike but the price tag and 25-year-old Sweden striker Alexander Isak's situation at Newcastle could also be factors in any deal. (Tbrfootball), external

The manager Lee Clark believes to be the best in the history of Newcastle United is Joe Harvey.

Harvey was in charge of the club from 1962 to 1975, and during this period, they won the Second Division title in 1965 and a European trophy.

Before last season's triumph in the Carabao Cup, Harvey remained the most recent Newcastle manager to lift silverware.

"My number one is Joe Harvey," Clark told BBC Radio Newcastle. "He won us the Fairs Cup, which is now known as the Europa League, and he took us to an FA Cup final.

"He was the manager when we had some top individual players and he was there from 1962 to 1975. That tells you how successful he was."

A recap of Clark's five best Newcastle United managers:

1. Joe Harvey

2. Eddie Howe

3. Kevin Keegan

4. Stan Seymour

5. Doug Livingstone

Welcome to the second part of Lee Clark's top five greatest managers to have managed Newcastle United.

At number three is Kevin Keegan. Under 'King Kev's' leadership between 1992 and 1997, Newcastle were promoted to the Premier League and came runners-up in 1996 and 1997.

"A man who had come in and changed the landscape of the club as a player. then came in and did something crazy as a manager," Clark told BBC Radio Newcastle.

"The reason he is not in the top two is because he couldn't find that elusive trophy. In 1995, we got close - we got ridiculously close.

"The brand of football, the excitement, just the way he turned the club around."

Clark names current boss Eddie Howe at number two. Howe took charge of the club after takeover in late 2021 and has guided the club to two Champions League qualifications, as well as winning their first trophy in 70 years after beating Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final.

"I think he is an outstanding manager," Howe said. "He is the perfect manager for us because he gets the club and the area.

"His work ethic is ridiculous, and his ability to develop players is unbelievable. They play an exciting brand of football, on the front foot.

"He has improved us and also got us one of the best seasons ever by winning that elusive trophy and getting us into the Champions League."

Come back later on Thursday to see who Clark put at number one

Throughout Thursday, we will be revealing who former Magpies captain Lee Clark thinks are the top five managers in the history of Newcastle United.

At number five, Clark has gone with Doug Livingstone. He was in charge of the club from December 1954 and led the club to an FA Cup win in 1955.

"This is someone who the older fans will remember," Clark said. "And why he is in there is because he won silverware for our club.

"It's not an easy thing as a Newcastle manager!"

At number four, he chose Livingstone's predecessor at St James' Park, Stan Seymour, who was in charge of the club on three different occasions between 1939 and 1958.

Under his stewardship, the club won back-to-back FA Cups in 1951 and 1952, making him the first person to win the trophy with the same club as a player and a manager.

"This was quite a tough one, and the only reason I have put him at four and not higher is because it was before my era.

"Seymour led us to two FA Cup wins and to do that in any era is tough. He could have easily been higher."

As Anthony Elanga prepares to race down the Newcastle right flank, likely competing with Jacob Murphy for a starting berth, it seems the Magpies now have depth in wide areas.

On the left, Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes should vie for a place in the XI and, while reputation and links to other clubs seem to give Gordon a certain glow in the footballing world, it would be fair to say he has to produce than he did in 2024-25.

Last season, Gordon offered a combined 11 goals and assists. It meant he scored or created a goal every 222 minutes. In his previous campaign, he scored or created every 138 minutes, offering a combined 21 goals and assists.

By comparison, last season Harvey Barnes scored or created every 135 minutes. These basic numbers alone point to Gordon having a fight on his hands and - as the graph above displays - they point to a slide in form.

In truth, 2024-25 saw Gordon slip in several key output metrics. He underperformed his xG of eight goals, scoring six. He created fewer chances, his shot conversion fell from 14% to 10% and his dribble success percentage fell too.

Naturally, some figures fell given he played over 400 minutes less across the Premier League season - down from 2,898 in 2023-24.

But there has been a clear decline.

Within all this, perhaps spare a thought for Barnes. Should he be more nailed on as a starter? A goal or assist every 135 minutes in 2024-25 and every 99 minutes in 2023-24. He has been a model of efficiency.

Will he start more? Could Elanga even switch flanks?

There are many questions for boss Eddie Howe to ponder. Perhaps the most telling will be whether Newcastle get Gordon of 2023-24 or the 2024-25 version?

Anthony Elanga demonstrated just how good he is at moving the ball up the pitch at pace when he did so from his own half to score Nottingham Forest's winner against Manchester United in April.

The average distance of his ball carries last season was 14.3 metres, the most in the Premier League among the 306 players who spent at least 1,000 minutes on the pitch.

As noted on this page on Tuesday, only Liverpool's Mohamed Salah and-mate Jacob Murphy, who is Newcastle's current first choice on the right of their attack, provided more assists than the 11 by Elanga last season.

Murphy was directly involved in 20 of Newcastle's 68 goals in 2024-25 but Newcastle may feel they need more options. Forest were the only side to use fewer players in the Premier League last season and the Magpies face a minimum eight additional matches after qualifying for the Champions League.

Watching Anthony Elanga play is a lot of fun!

As they always, and quite rightly say "there's no substitute for pace", and if you have end product after the run, it is a dangerous combination.

That is why Newcastle want Elanga, and that is why Forest have been reluctant to part with him.

Ultimately, though, Forest will feel that they have a good deal financially, and for them it is about how they spend to replace the Sweden international. That is going to be crucial going forward for Nuno Espirito Santo's side, because Elanga was excellent for the Forest head coach.

When he was going through a lean spell, Nuno publicly backed him, and was proved right as Elanga bagged six goals and 11 assists last season – improving both from the previous campaign.

With Newcastle, he will have a Champions League campaign to look forward to, and Eddie Howe will be hoping he can provide the assists for compatriot Alexander Isak in the Magpies' forward line.

Always smiling, his bubbly enthusiasm is infectious, and he fitted perfectly into the Forest dressing-room spirit that took them so far last season.

It was fun talking to him, and it was fun watching him... and if you want to know how much fun, just have a look at his winning goal against Manchester United last season – a solo run from his own half, holding defenders off and then finding a finish.

Classic Anthony Elanga.

The attraction to Anthony Elanga for Newcastle is clear. Pace, skill and power from wide.

He is a player Magpies boss Eddie Howe has tracked for 12 months and now he has successfully got his man.

For the time being, Elanga will supplement the quality Newcastle already have in that area of the field in Anthony Gordon, Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes.

With Newcastle back in the Champions League next season, Howe needs quality options so he can rotate.

Elanga certainly provides that.

Whether the Sweden international's arrival indicates anything towards a departure out wide remains to be seen, but the club have been adamant none of their top players will leave this summer.

It is little surprise that Newcastle have renewed their pursuit of Anthony Elanga, after a failed move last summer, as the winger's profile suits their high-energy and counter-attacking style under Eddie Howe.

Most obviously, Elanga provides pace and intensity. The 23-year-old recorded the third quickest top speed in the Premier League last season, while only Newcastle's Anthony Gordon sprinted more per 90 minutes than the Nottingham Forest winger. Gordon and Elanga on opposite flanks would be a daunting scenario for opposition full-backs.

The Swede provides an end product too, with 17 top-flight goal involvements last season – only Mohamed Salah and Jacob Murphy, who is Newcastle's current first-choice on the right of their attack, provided more assists than the 11 by Elanga. Five of those were from set-pieces and the other six from open-play crosses – both league highs.

Nonetheless, Elanga's crossing accuracy from open play last season was a lowly 17% and his dribbling stats were unremarkable: 71 attempted, with a 35% success rate. Which is not to accuse Elanga of being an ineffective dribbler – he demonstrated just how good at it he can be when carrying the ball at pace from his own half to score Forest's winner against Manchester United in April.
