Newcastle United manager Eddie Howe is reportedly frustrated with the club’s handling of the January transfer window – particularly as key players could depart in the coming days.

The Magpies have now agreed to send defender Lloyd Kelly on loan to Juventus, despite Howe signing him as a free agent last summer and previously working with him at Bournemouth.

TBR Football has reported that Howe had no intention of letting any players leave this month, especially knowing that Newcastle had no plans to bring in replacements. While ideally, he had hoped to strengthen the squad with two new signings, but the club made it clear back in December that no arrivals should be expected.

“I’ll NEVER say sorry!” – which ex-Arsenal star says he was “really p***ed off” with how he was treated before leaving?

In an effort to hold onto his squad, Howe successfully convinced Newcastle to retain goalkeeper Martin Dubravka, who has impressed while filling in for the injured Nick Pope. However, the departures are still stacking up, with Miguel Almiron moving to Atlanta United, and now Kelly is set to undergo his medical with Juventus on Sunday. The loan deal includes a £15m obligation to buy. This is half of what Newcastle had initially been asking for earlier in the week. Kelly had grown frustrated with his lack of playing time, it is thought.

Other Newcastle exits considered by club

Unfortunately for Howe, Kelly might not be the last player out the door. Newcastle are reportedly considering further sales, with Kieran Trippier and Matt Targett also attracting interest.

Galatasaray have already opened talks to sign Trippier, who is keen on the move after spending much of this season on the bench. Despite this, Howe is determined to keep hold of the experienced right-back.

Meanwhile, Targett is a target for an unnamed MLS clubs, meaning he could leave even after the English transfer window closes

U.S. District Court Judge Karin Immergut on Sunday temporarily extended an order blocking the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, saying the government failed to justify the move.

In an order issued Sunday evening, Immergut "preliminarily enjoins Defendant Secretary of Defense Hegseth from implementing" memorandums that authorized the federalization and deployment of National Guard members from Oregon, Texas and California into Portland. 

The injunction will remain in effect "until this Court issues its final opinion on the merits by Friday, Nov. 7, 2025, no later than 5 p.m."

Immergut said that the court witnessed "three days of testimony and argument in a trial that ended 48 hours ago," reviewing more than 750 exhibits, many of them voluminous. She wrote that "the interest of justice requires that this Court complete a thorough review of the exhibits and trial transcripts before issuing a final decision on the merits."

Ultimately, she assessed the Trump administration’s actions and found the government’s justification lacking.

"Based on the trial testimony, this Court finds no credible evidence that during the approximately two months before the President’s federalization order, protests grew out of control or involved more than isolated and sporadic instances of violent conduct that resulted in no serious injuries to federal personnel," she wrote. 

The judge further concluded that the president "likely did not have a colorable basis" to invoke either Section 12406(3) or Section 12406(2) to federalize and deploy the National Guard to Portland's ICE facility. 

Immergut pointed to testimony from local law enforcement – officials who had firsthand knowledge of demonstrations – as key to her conclusion that the protests did not amount to a rebellion. 

FEDERAL COURT TO REVIEW CASE RELATING TO TRUMP’S AUTHORITY TO SEND NATIONAL GUARD TROOPS TO PORTLAND, OREGON

"Based on trial testimony that this Court found credible, particularly the testimony of Portland Police Bureau command staff, who work in Portland and have first-hand knowledge of the crowds at the ICE building from June to the present, the protests in Portland at the time of the National Guard call outs are likely not a ‘rebellion,’ and likely do not pose a danger of rebellion," she wrote. 

Immergut also concluded that the administration's actions likely violate statutory limits and constitutional protections.

The judge wrote that "Defendants’ federalization and deployment of the National Guard in response to protests outside a single federal building in Portland, Oregon, extended beyond delegated statutory authority under 10 U.S.C. § 12406 and violated the Tenth Amendment." 

She added that sending in troops from one state into another infringes on state sovereignty, describing it as "an injury to Oregon’s sovereignty under the Constitution, and Oregon’s equal sovereignty among the States."

The judge said she expects to issue her final opinion on the merits by Friday, Nov. 7, 2025, by 5 p.m. PT. Until then, "the Oregon National Guard may remain federalized, but not deployed."
