Newcastle United Could Have Faced Ten-Point Deduction Without Exits

Newcastle United could have faced up to a ten-point deduction in the event of failing to sell Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson, according to the Daily Mail.

The Magpies are fighting to stay on the right side of PSR rules and were keen to move players out before 30th June.

Eddie Howe’s side assessed a number of options to try to raise money before deciding to sell Minteh and Anderson.

Minteh, who spent last season on loan with Feyenoord, drew interest from Premier League outfits Brighton and Everton.
