Newcastle ‘plan to raid Arsenal for FOUR fringe players including Aubameyang and Holding’ in huge January swoop

NEWCASTLE UNITED are reportedly plotting swoops for FOUR Arsenal players this month – including axed captain Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.

The Magpies are desperate for reinforcements after their £300m Saudi takeover to help secure their Premier League survival.

A £12m deal has already been agreed to sign Kieran Trippier from Atletico Madrid to bolster their backline.

Now The Telegraph claims Eddie Howe is eyeing up four Arsenal outcasts as part of a raid on Mikel Arteta’s side.

With top scorer Callum Wilson injured, striker Aubameyang is said to be the top target.

Following his fall-out with boss Arteta, the Gunners are believed to be keen on getting the star’s £350,000-a-week salary off their wage bill.

And Newcastle, with their new Saudi-backed kitty, could afford to try and bring him to the North East.

But the 32-year-old is not the only forward from the Emirates being linked with Toon.

Eddie Nketiah also appears to be heading out of Arsenal after growing frustrated over making just three Prem appearances this term.

The 22-year-old becomes a free agent in June and the Gunners could decide to cash in this month if Newcastle come knocking.

Howe is also allegedly looking to strengthen his midfield as well as defence and is eyeing two other of Arteta’s outcasts.

Egyptian Mohamed Elneny and centre-back Rob Holding have both barely featured so far this campaign.

And Toon are said to be looking to add both to their ranks as they aim to pull off a quadruple deal with the North London club.
