Newcastle United's Eddie Howe says he is "disappointed" with his side's "disjointed" performance in the final 30 minutes after the Magpies lost 2-0 against West Ham at St James' Park.

The report from Football Insider states that Newcastle are working on a deal to sign Araujo from Benfica in the coming windows, with Eddie Howe 's need for a central defender well known after a failed pursuit of Marc Guehi in the summer transfer window.

Howe will give an injury update, with Callum Wilson and Kieran Trippier thought to be close to a return, while longer-term absentee Sven Botman has spoken about his progress. Sandro Tonali has had to settle for a place on the bench in the last two games, but again impressed for Italy, so how does Howe fit him into the equation?
