Newcastle news: McTominay and Morton links, PIF anniversary and Coventry preparations

Newcastle United's latest news roundup highlights transfer links with midfielders Scott McTominay and Tyler Morton, the five-year anniversary of the PIF takeover, and preparations to face Coventry City. Napoli's McTominay and Lyon's Morton are both being monitored as potential options to reinforce Newcastle's midfield. However, no formal offers or direct negotiations have taken place for either player.

Thursday also marks five years since the Public Investment Fund-led consortium purchased Newcastle United for £305m from Mike Ashley. On the pitch, manager Matthias Jaissle is preparing his squad for Monday's Premier League match against Coventry City following an international break.
