Newcastle United are ready to replace one of their first team stalwarts this winter.

The Magpies are preparing for the departure of Miguel Almiron to the Saudi Pro League.

British media reports have linked him with a mega money move to Al-Shabab in the coming days.

Per The Sun, Newcastle are assessing Nottingham Forest's Morgan Gibbs-White as his replacement.

Manager Eddie Howe is a huge admirer of Gibbs-White and believes he can get the best out of him.

Forest would loathe to lose such an important player given their current league position.

However, the club are in FFP danger and that may result in the board approving a big money transfer.
