United have released midfielder Jack Colback and are currently in negotiations with Matty Longstaff about signing a new, improved deal with the club. Securing Hendrick would bring an experienced Premier League and international footballer into the fold for the upcoming campaign.
West Ham were said to be interested in the 28-year-old but reports suggest Hendrick has made his mind up about his next move.
The Mag, and independent production put together by Newcastle fans, are not taking the latest transfer offerings well. Trying to be diplomatic about Hendrick, Dale Thompson states:
'With only four weeks until the 2020/21 season kicks off and not a single player brought in during the three weeks of the transfer window so far, it is a very sobering process when Mbappe dreams have been replaced by Jeff Hendrick (no disrespect) nightmares. 'Hendrick is the big transfer story dominating Newcastle United headlines ahead of the season, can NUFC land the 28 year old free transfer midfielder who doesn’t score goals (only nine in four seasons at Burnley). 'Jeff Hendrick isn’t the worst player in the world but he isn’t any better, or even as good (in my opinion) as the options we currently have, who aren’t exactly outstanding either.'One hopes, for the sake of Hendrick and Newcastle fans, Bruce gets the go-ahead to bring in a few more faces. The Dubliner has shown that he can be a dependable player once he gets a run of games, but he will need more quality around him if United are to improve on their 13th place finish last season.
