Latest Newcastle transfer news: Plans underway, Sean Rigg, Jonathan David

Football FanCast brings you the latest Newcastle United transfer round-up.

The Magpies followed the trend of most of the Premier League in January as they opted not to bring a single new face in. Though, you can understand why after seeing Everton get slapped with a 10 point deduction for falling foul of FFP.

So, it's now all eyes on the summer transfer window, with reinforcements needed at St James' Park as things haven't exactly gone to plan thus far.
