Gonçalo Feio leaves Dunkerque by mutual consent less than a month into role
The announcement was accompanied by a short statement signed by club presidents, Selçuk Demir and the former Newcastle United and Chelsea FC striker Demba Ba. It read, 'The club would like to thank Feio and his assistant for their commitment and the work accomplished throughout their time in Dunkerque. The entire club wishes them every success in their continuing professional careers.'

The Portuguese manager had only been appointed as the replacement for Luís Castro on the 20th of June, with his fellow countryman taking up the hot seat at FC Nantes. Feio had been a free agent before temporarily taking the reins at Les Maritimes, after he was unable to agree on a contract extension with Legia Warsaw.
Feio oversaw only one full season with the Polish club, but the brief stint was successful. He even led them to a pyrrhic victory over Chelsea FC in the second leg of their UEFA Conference League clash.

Defender on Newcastle radar after standout Inter Milan season
Newcastle Step Up Pursuit of Bisseck Amidst Defensive Reshuffle Bisseck Emerges as Key Defensive Target Newcastle United are weighing up a serious move for Inter Milan's Yann Bisseck, as the club aims to reinforce its defensive ranks ahead of another European campaign. According to NUFC Blog, the Magpies have monitored the 24-year-old German closely over the past two seasons and are 'impressed with his growth at the San Siro'. Bisseck was pivotal in Inter's route to last season's Champions League final, where his presence at the back did not go unnoticed. This is a familiar route for Eddie Howe's side, who previously dipped into Serie A when they brought in Sandro Tonali from AC Milan for £55 million. The idea of replicating such a transfer with Bisseck is gathering momentum, although the fee 'won't come cheap' with four years still remaining on the defender's current deal. Photo IMAGO Strong Interest Despite Competition The potential transfer may be complicated by rival interest from Aston Villa, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur. However, only Newcastle and Spurs can dangle the carrot of Champions League football. NUFC Blog notes claims that Bisseck is 'in solidarity' with teammate Hakan Çalhanoğlu amid unrest at Inter, possibly opening the door for an exit. Brentford's Nathan Collins has also appeared on the club's radar, yet his situation is described as a 'non-starter' due to the departures of Bryan Mbeumo and Christian Nørgaard from the Gtech. Scalvini Move Fading The club's increased focus on Bisseck could also hint at their withdrawal from the chase for Atalanta's Giorgio Scalvini. Once 'one of their top targets', Scalvini seems less likely to arrive on Tyneside, as little progress has been made on that front. The move for the previously labelled 'insane' centre-back has gone quiet. Photo IMAGO New Arrivals and Setbacks Newcastle's summer has not gone entirely to plan, despite the arrivals of Spanish wonderkid Antonito Cordero and £52 million man Anthony Elanga. The recruitment team failed to land João Pedro and Mbeumo, and their pursuit of Burnley goalkeeper James Trafford is also under threat, with Manchester City now making a move for their former player. As the Magpies strive to bridge the gap with England's elite, securing Bisseck could be a statement of serious intent. Whether they succeed remains to be seen, but the ambition is evident. Our View – EPL Index Analysis Bisseck would be a proper signing. You don't come through at Inter, become a Champions League final starter and go unnoticed. The fact that he's 'impressed with his growth at the San Siro' and Inter want to keep him says everything about his quality. If we're going to keep fighting on multiple fronts, we need depth and composure at the back. Yes, Scalvini sounded exciting, but if that's stalled, Bisseck is more than a decent plan B — or even plan A. He's quick, strong in the air, reads the game and still has room to grow. At 24, he's just entering his prime. The fact he's 'in solidarity' with Çalhanoğlu amid all the turmoil could be a blessing for us. It's also good to see we've added Elanga and Cordero, though the recruitment team clearly faced some rejections. Still, Champions League football is a lure, and if we can convince Bisseck to come, that'd show we've not lost pulling power. The Trafford situation is frustrating but not a disaster. Defence is the priority. Let's just get Bisseck in, give Howe the tools, and push on.

Newcastle to rival Juventus and Villarreal for Chelsea centre-back Axel Disasi
Chelsea centre-back Axel Disasi (27) is of interest to a handful of European clubs, according to a report from . The France international has been deemed surplus to requirements by Enzo Maresca. Disasi spent the second half of last season on loan at Aston Villa. Unai Emery's Villans have decided against making the former Monaco centre-back's move at Villa Park a permanent one. Disasi is not even included in the Blues' profiles on Chelsea's website. RMC Sport understands that Villarreal and Juventus FC have made initial enquiries over the France international. Disasi has made clear he would rather remain in the Premier League, if the opportunity presented itself. The report adds that Newcastle United are monitoring Disasi's situation. Newcastle would reportedly not hesitate to sign a centre-back, given the added fixtures of at least eight Champions League games, and that Disasi is among the Magpies' targets. GFFN | Bastien Cheval
