Newcastle Interested in Bilal El Khannouss

Newcastle United is among the clubs monitoring his development, as noted by TEAMtalk. They seek to bolster their midfield options, and El Khannouss, with his technical skills and creativity, could be an attractive long-term addition.

With a permanent exit from Leicester City likely in the near future, his next destination remains uncertain.

The prospect of returning to the Premier League with Newcastle might be appealing, though he could also choose to continue his career in Germany after his promising stint with Stuttgart.

Leicester City is facing challenges and aims to enhance their squad soon. The potential £22 million from El Khannouss's transfer could significantly impact their finances.

They are currently struggling in the Championship, typically expected to strive for promotion. The current situation raises concerns about their ability to remain in the second tier of English football.

A potential relegation would have dire consequences. They must acquire quality players during the January window to avoid dropping down.

El Khannouss is aiming for higher competition, and a return to Leicester likely won't be on his agenda. He is expected to seek a significant move in the months ahead. His next destination is still uncertain.
