Newcastle fans are wanting to hold on to Javier Manquillo, with West Ham, Crystal Palace and Brighton said to be ‘monitoring‘ the 25-year-old.
According to Telegraph, via One Football, West Ham, Brighton and Crystal Palace are said to be ‘monitoring‘ the Spaniard. Manquillo has played eight matches this season, totalling up to just 575 minutes in the Premier League, however, despite the lack of game time, these fans are still keen for the club to hold onto the 25-year-old.
Here’s what the Newcastle United fans had to say about the rumours:
West Ham are plotting a cut-price move for Manquillo in January. West Ham will battle Brighton and Crystal Palace for the right-back. [Telegraph] #nufc

Would you sell Javier Manquillo?
Yes
No
When Manquillo has played he’s been decent, averaging a WhoScored rating of 6.67/10, making him the twelfth-highest rated player in the Newcastle squad.
Tbh I’d rather lose Yedlin

What Do We Think?
Clearly these Newcastle United fans are wanting the club to keep Javier Manquillo at the club, with the Spaniard playing for four matches in a row, he’s clearly starting to find his form, making any deal for him now seem poorly timed. We would definitely hold on to and use Manquillo, being just 25-years-old, he still has so much room for growth and could be a future star for the Magpies.
