Former Premier League striker Darren Bent has said that Wilfried Zaha is a realistic target for Newcastle United once their takeover is completed. The Magpies are currently on the verge of a change in ownership with PCP Capital Partners having agreed on a deal worth £300m with Mike Ashley.
The deal is expected to be announced in a couple of weeks’ time and this has already led to speculation that there could be high-profile arrivals during the summer. Speaking to Football Insider, Bent suggested that Zaha could be a realistic option for the Tyneside outfit for the next transfer window.

Speaking after the game, Hodgson was pleased with the important victory away from home. He added that the south London outfit have not been playing poorly in the past few games but the results were not going their way, he told: “It was an impressive and important victory after the run of games we’ve had. I don’t think we’ve been in bad form or played poorly in recent games, so it was important for me to keep the players believing that you don’t necessarily equate form with results. There are teams in this league, probably certainly, not just on paper but on the field of play that do have a better chance of beating you with their resources and the quality of their players.”
Speaking to Sky Sports, Zaha’s brother Judiceal said that the forward is keen on realising the dream of playing for the Gunners. He added to issue a plea to the Eagles by citing that the player has given his best during his time in south London, he quipped: “Given all that Wilfried has given to Crystal Palace to help them remain a Premier League club.
Speaking to reporters, Sakho said that he is presently content with the proceedings at Palace, but he would always be open to the idea of rejoining Les Parisiens, he told: “Paris is my home, it will always be that way. I believe in PSG and the Champions League. Like many, I have no regrets in my life and in my career, except that my father did not have the chance to see what I could accomplish. I like it [at Palace] but in life we do not know what tomorrow holds.”
Speaking in his press conference, Hodgson said that he would prefer to keep hold of the pair beyond the summer but there are no assurances of the same. He added that to give the example of West Ham United’s situation with Declan Rice and suggested that every player has a price where the clubs will consider selling.
Speaking to reporters, Hodgson highlighted that the Eagles don’t usually enjoy lengthy runs in the Cup and those are left for the successful teams like Arsenal and Chelsea. He added that he is prepared for the forthcoming challenge against Watford and would be pleased to guide his team to the semi-final stage.
How have the Turkish side been able to come to this feat, a look at their squad would give an idea about this remarkable turn in form? Basaksehir boast of nothing less than 6 players that have plied their trade in the premier league at one point or the order. This list includes Emmanuel Adebayor, Demba Ba, Robinho, Kerim Frei, Emre Belozogu and Gael Clichy.
