Newcastle United attempted to sign 24-year-old Fenerbahce defender Jayden Oosterwolde before the summer transfer window closes.

According to an update by Turkish journalist Ekrem Akbas, Newcastle United have submitted a loan offer with an option to buy Jayden Oosterwolde at the end of the season. However, Fenerbahce have decided to turn down the offer. They are not willing to let go of the versatile Dutchman before the window closes.

It is no secret that Newcastle United need depth in the squad, and it will be interesting to see if they decide to move on to other targets. The Magpies have failed with multiple offers for players this summer. Eddie Howe’s men have looked vulnerable at the back this season and they need to plug the gaps in their defence. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle can bring in the right reinforcement before the window.

Newcastle United need more quality at the back

Newcastle United will play in the UEFA Champions League this season, and they need a deeper squad to do well across multiple competitions. They will want to put together a team capable of fighting for trophies once again. The Tyneside outfit managed to win the EFL Cup last season, and they will look to build on it.

It remains to be seen how the situation develops over the next few hours. The transfer window will close later today, and Newcastle United will be desperate for defensive reinforcements. The opportunity to move to the Premier League could have been exciting for Oosterwolde, and he will be disappointed with how the situation has played out.

Newcastle United are a big club with an ambitious project, and he could have been fighting for trophies with them. However, the Turkish outfit are lacking in depth in the defensive unit, and they have decided not to sanction his departure.

Newcastle United must look to move on to their next target quickly and improve the squad before the window closes. The Magpies have made a disappointing start to the Premier League campaign, and they will look to bounce back strongly. They need quality players at their disposal for that to happen.
