Newcastle United could have a couple of big decisions to make when it comes to the January transfer window, with Arsenal duo Joel Campbell and Mathieu Debuchy both up for grabs.

The pair could be punted the way of United in the next few weeks.

Both names have been mentioned around the football circuit by scouts and directors with Premier League clubs starting preparations for the next transfer window.

United have been offered the Costa Rica international striker before and the January window could be the last time he will be available at a knockdown rate with his contract up at the Emirates Stadium next summer.

Arsene Wenger knows that it is decision time for Campbell who, at 23, feels it could be time to move on and look for regular first team football after starting just three Premier League games.

Wenger has been linked with a winter move for Dynamo Moscow and Russia striker Aleksandr Kokorin in January, a signing which could seal Campbell’s fate.

United were linked with Campbell after his successful World Cup with Costa Rica back in 2014.

The 23-year-old has been back in the Arsenal team recently but his long-term future is unclear, with Fenerbahce and Galatasaray already considering a move, according to reports in Turkey.

Wenger gave nothing away recently when asked on Campbell’s next move and said: “We had offers from Premier League clubs to loan him out again but I’m very keen to keep him here.”

It is believed that his representatives have been told to start looking for alternatives in January, with Newcastle mentioned as a possible destination.

Newcastle picked up a huge £12million fee for a player reaching the latter stages of his career 18 months ago.

And while the full-back is available on loan or for a significantly cheaper fee, United’s Daryl Janmaat is one of the first names on the team-sheet these days.

Newcastle do have problems on the other side of the field due to Massadio Haidara’s long injury lay off, but have cover at right-back with youngster Jamie Sterry stepping up to the senior squad recently and Jack Colback and Vurnon Anita also able to fill in if needed.

Speaking on his future, Debuchy told French media: “I need to have several games under my belt to be at the Euros.

“You can’t be in the French squad if you play a game once a month or less than that.

“You can’t be fit, and can’t be mentally focused.

“And if I have to leave permanently or on loan to play, I will.”

Debuchy has spoken of his love for Newcastle in the past and would jump at the chance of a return if the opportunity came his way, but United have other priorities in the transfer window.
