Hello and welcome to our live blog coverage of Newcastle United vs Atalanta from St. James' Park. It's the Magpies' sixth pre-season game of the summer ...

Atalanta clear the cross for a corner. A lot of, what I presume is, Italian swearing when his side lose the ball...... Eddie Howe will be looking for another good performance after pushing Benfica close in the Eusebio Cup earlier this week. But the Newcastle midfielder is down after taking a knock to the face. 30 seconds later, Trippier swings a ball in and the resulting header is headed away from goal by an Atalanta defender. Also available to purchase through local participating retailers from Saturday July 30, 2022. Atalanta break and win a corner at the other end. Sean Longstaff flies into a challenge and wins the ball against Duvan Zapata with a well-timed tackle. The youngster is having a huge night. Ederson goes down in the area after a good challenge from Dan Burn. Chris Wood and Matt Targett link-up well with the former playing in the full-back with a nice flick but Targett's shot is saved. Well-worked move from the Italian side but at the final stage they lose the ball in the box.

In-form Miguel Almirón will start for Newcastle United in Friday night's friendly against Italian side Atalanta.

Santiago Muñoz is named among the substitutes for the first time, alongside defender Matty Bondswell - who impressed against Benfica on Tuesday night - and Jay Turner-Cooke, who has trained with Howe's first team in pre-season. Youngster Elliot Anderson will play in midfield, with Longstaff also in the engine room and Almirón pushing forward at number ten. Head coach Eddie Howe is splitting his squad between the two fixtures, with Kieran Trippier, Sean Longstaff and matchday programme cover star Almirón - who has bagged six goals in pre-season so far - among the first teamers named in what is a Newcastle squad for Friday's outing.

Newcastle United beat Atalanta 1-0 at St. James' Park - and here are five things we learned.

The Colombian forward was in action for Atalanta on Friday as Toon bosses got to take a closer look at the 31-year-old. Newcastle are in the market for another attacking option but did Zapata do enough to catch the eye of those watching? Driving at the Italian defence, Anderson looked a huge threat throughout and was decisive in the 1-0 win. With that being said, it's likely the Magpies boss may be looking to use his ideal midfield three for the opening weekend against Bilbao on Saturday. The demand for tickets this season is going to be astronomical and the fact so many supporters forked out for a pre-season game shows just how difficult it is going to be for non-season ticket holders to get to see the team in action this campaign.

Duvan Zapata, a striker that continues to be linked with Newcastle United, is expected to feature for Atalanta at St James' Park.

Zapata could move on this summer but for now remains at the heart of Gian Piero Gasperini’s plans for next season. And if Zapata is serious about pursuing a potential move to the Premier League, tonight is his opportunity to catch the eye. Zapata has spent the nine years of his career in Serie A playing for Napoli, Udinese, Sampdoria and Atalanta.

Joe Buck gives his player ratings as Newcastle United secure a 1-0 win over Atalanta.

Eddie Howe has delivered an exciting update on Newcastle United youngster, Elliot Anderson, who has been shining in pre-season.

He is also just 19 years of age and has plenty of time to develop further. It is safe to say that Anderson looks like the part. He looked like the star of the show against Atalanta, as Newcastle United got a 1-0 win over the Italian side.

Eddie Howe has addressed speculation linking Maxwel Cornet with a move to Newcastle United.

“There’s a frustration that you want to be build your team and get the cohesive nature working quickly. “The most important thing is we get the right players, not the speed in which we get the players in. “I probably wouldn’t have hoped to have been in that situation but that’s the transfer window,” Howe said.

One pundit claims Miguel Almiron could be the latest Newcastle United player to experience a renaissance under Eddie Howe after dazzling in pre-season.

They are going to be pushing near that top half of the table and I don’t see why Almiron can’t be a part of that. We will have to see how he does next season.” Miguel Almiron could be the latest Newcastle United player to experience a renaissance under Eddie Howe after dazzling in pre-season.

Last time we did this sort of crazy approach to the game was under SBR when Rangers and Sporting Lisbon were here and the year was 2004 (I think). Jurgen Klopp ...

Almiron and the excellent Anderson tested their keeper and Pope was mostly a spectator. Looking forward to tomorrow and then the real thing a week Saturday. Elliot Anderson is a real talent and Miguel Almiron looks really good right now. The defence was solid, Atlanta looked decent and the game settled into a middle of the pitch affair with both sides looking rusty in attack. The worst player of the half for United got a chance to grab a goal from the spot after good work in the box from Elliot Anderson. There’s something about Anderson that suggests he’ll have a career at this level. The second half was decent again.

CRAIG HOPE AT ST JAMES PARK: Newcastle United were 1-0 winners over Serie A Atalanta at St James' Park on Friday night. Here are five things we learned ...

We’re told the damage is not significant and he will be sidelined for between three and four weeks. He could be a big player for Newcastle this season if staying fit and happy. At the moment, it certainly looks like he will stay with us, because of how he is performing.’ The dilemma is whether his development would be better served by spending a season on loan where he is a regular starter. It was a surprise, then, to see him start in a midfield role here rather than as one of the front three. The front three which started here - Wood, Ryan Fraser and Jacob Murphy - will almost certainly be changed come the season’s start, but there was still reason to believe more quality is needed in the final third.

Eddie Howe's dropped his biggest hint yet on Elliot Anderson's chances of making his Premier League squad.

“His performance today was very good. “He’s performed very well,” said United’s head coach. I thought he was very, very good defensively today, very good tactically to understand his position, but also technically in tight areas, really quick feet.

A clean sheet and a one goal win courtesy of a Chris Wood penalty (won by Elliot Anderson), saw United deservedly beat good quality Serie A opposition. A nervy ...

Martin Dubravka missed the Benfica match with a sprained wrist, whilst Paul Dummett was reported by journalists to have been simply rested. Jacob Murphy the only starter not to get 90 minutes and even then, Matty Longstaff only replaced him with eight minutes to go. Only really the last 10-15 minutes did Atalanta start to threaten again, as they introduced fresh legs.

Leicester City have knocked back a bid from Newcastle United for midfielder James Maddison this week.

Eddie Howe wants more creativity in his squad and Maddison is a player the Newcastle manager likes. But Leicester were quick to turn it down as they are intending to hold on to the midfielder for the new season. Maddison has now emerged as a big target for Newcastle and they tabled a £40m bid for him on Friday.

The report comes from the usually excellent John Percy of The Telegraph, who has an impressive record when it comes to breaking transfer stories, including any ...

Tielemans was expected to leave but that hasn’t been the case, so if Newcastle do up their offer, then a combination of James Maddison wanting to leave and Leicester then having funds to invest on bringing players in, could potentially do it. One who is very comfortable on the ball and willing to carry it. ‘Spoke to people last night about this with john Percy and it is 100% true from the Newcastle United end.

Newcastle United have made a £40million bid for James Maddison, according to a report.

The most important thing is that we get the right players, not the speed at which we get the players in. And we have to be adaptable, and that’s what we try to be. We’re desperate to try and improve the group if we can with the right player.
