Newcastle United are considering a surprising double transfer swoop on Arsenal.

The Magpies are eager to bring in quality reinforcements as they deal with an injury crisis.

Sandro Tonali, Harvey Barnes and Tino Livramento came in the summer, but Tonali is banned for the rest of the season due to betting violations while he was a Milan player.

Per The Athletic, Newcastle are assessing Aaron Ramsdale and Emile Smith Rowe as winter arrivals.

Injury to Nick Pope means a keeper is a priority, while Smith Rowe would slot into midfield or on the left wing.

Arsenal would loathe to lose either player, as manager Mikel Arteta values rotation options.
