NEWCASTLE UNITED MAKE MOVE FOR STRIKER DESPITE SUMMER SPENDING SPLURGE
Newcastle United are linked with a surprise £40m move for Crystal Palace's Jean-Philippe Mateta. The French striker is reportedly reluctant to sign a new contract, alerting several Premier League clubs.

Newcastle United appears to be looking for another striker after spending a lot of money on one in the summer.
When Callum Wilson left at the end of his contract and Alexander Isak was sold to Liverpool, it seemed obvious that Eddie Howe would need two new No. 9s. Newcastle spent more than £120 million on Yoane Wissa and Nick Woltemade to achieve just that. While the latter is yet to make his debut because of injury, the former has had a fantastic start to life at St. James' Park, scoring five goals in nine games across all competitions.
Jean-Philippe Mateta have been linked to Newcastle United.
Crystal Palace is getting ready for life without Jean-Philippe Mateta, according to Caught Offside (via 3 Added Minutes). With 37 goals in 72 appearances across all competitions under the Austrian, including five in eight Premier League games this season, the Frenchman has been a prolific goal scorer throughout the Oliver Glasner era.

Mateta is currently in the final 18 months of his contract, meanwhile, and is reportedly "unlikely to engage" in talks on a new agreement.
Newcastle United has apparently been notified of this, and Mateta may be available for a low-cost £40 million transfer in January. However, it appears that Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur will compete with the Magpies. Benjamin Sesko, who has only scored two goals in nine appearances this season in all competitions, is reportedly already causing United to have concerns. Despite only signing the DR Congo international this summer, Newcastle is believed to have concerns regarding Wissa's long-term fitness.
Does Newcastle United have a chance to sign Jean-Philippe Mateta?
On the surface, Newcastle seems to be salivating at the thought of acquiring a striker of Mateta's calibre for possibly as little as £40 million. But this summer, the Magpies spent a lot of money on strikers, and one of them has already made an impact at Woltemade. Furthermore, Wissa will not be out of commission for long. In fact, Wissa is already training on grass, so we might see the former Brentford player return to action as early as Newcastle's away game against West Ham on November 2.
Regarding Wissa's fitness, Howe previously stated: "We do not know exactly when that will be, but we expect him to [come back soon], providing he does not suffer any bad effects from anything he is doing." "We think he will be back during this time of games before the next international break," he said.
Given this, Newcastle's chances of making a January deal for Mateta seem slim. Given the money previously spent on strikers and any future additions Howe would want to make to other areas of the pitch, it would actually be a bad idea. After defeating Portuguese powerhouse Benfica 3-0 in the Champions League, Newcastle will play Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur at home in the Premier League and EFL Cup, respectively, before their matchup with West Ham.
DISCIPLINARY BLOW: MADRID PLAYER SUSPENDED POST EL CLáSICO TUSSLE
Real Madrid's backup keeper Andriy Lunin has been handed a one-game suspension by the RFEF for his aggressive conduct on the bench during the heated final moments of El Clásico. Real Madrid's appeal was rejected.

Los Blancos' goalie Andriy Lunin has been suspended for one game by the RFEF Disciplinary Committee for his involvement in the sideline dramas during the El Clásico's final moments. Although the cameras did not catch it, referee Soto Grado did record that he had sent the Ukrainian off.
According to Mundo Deportivo, the RFEF responded as follows when asked why Lunin received a red card.
The reason for Lunin, Andrii's expulsion in the 90th minute was that he had to be restrained by his teammates after he walked aggressively from his bench to the blonde bench.
The disciplinary committee of the RFEF
"When considered significant, those whose behaviour violates sporting order will be suspended for four to ten games or fined between 602 and 3,006 euros."
Because of Lunin's actions, which constituted a minor violation of the sporting order, he was suspended for one game. The ruling had been challenged by Real Madrid. However, the RFEF stayed steadfast, defending the referee's ruling and the evidence in the match report and on film.
Now, the backup goalie will not play against Valencia this weekend, where he is probably going to be benched. Fran Gonzalez and Sunico, both from the youth team, might be called up as the matchday squad's third choice, with Sergio Mestre serving as a backup.
No Barcelona players or any other Real Madrid players were slapped with bans following the two flash moments in the closing stages of the game. When Vinicius Jr. and Lamie Yamal argued, even players who were not on the team were spotted shoving on the side of the field. The RFEF, however, determined that nothing that came to pass would justify further prohibitions.
ARSENAL STAR DROPS CONFIDENT TITLE HINT AFTER STRONG OPENING
Arsenal star Bukayo Saka is targeting a historic Premier League and World Cup double with England this season. The winger believes it's a "doable" feat as the Gunners lead the title race.

According to Bukayo Saka, it is feasible for Arsenal and England to win both games this season. The season has started well for the Gunners under Mikel Arteta's leadership.
Arsenal leads the Premier League standings by four points at the moment and is starting to look like a title contender. Manchester City is only one point ahead of defending champions Liverpool, who are seven points behind.
Saka, however, is not only interested in winning at his club; he also hopes to succeed internationally. Manager Thomas Tuchel has stated that winning the trophy is his ambition for England, who have qualified for the World Cup in the USA next year.
Saka is optimistic about his club's and his nation's chances of winning. "Yeah, that is my prayer," he remarked in an interview with Sky Sports. It is possible, of course.
