Hello and welcome to the Newcastle United live blog for Friday, January 26.

The clock is ticking for the Magpies on the transfer front with the transfer deadline less than a week away.

Newcastle sealed the loan signing of Kenedy from Chelsea on Tuesday, while they also rejected a bid from Brighton for Aleksandar Mitrovic.

Manager Rafa Benitez is ready to add more players to his squad, but faces a key period if United are to get the players he wants.

We'll have the latest on the all of the January transfer rumours that are starting to stack up. Meanwhile, on the pitch, we will have all of the fallout from Newcastle's 3-1 defeat to Man City on Saturday.
