Newcastle have recently been linked with a move to bring 19-year-old Lewis Gibson back to Newcastle either in January or next summer. Lewis left Newcastle in 2017 to join Everton in the hopes of a clearer pathway to the first-team than he percieved was possible at Newcastle.
The youngster left his hometown club for Everton in a £4m deal and signed on a three-year contract. That contract is due to expire next summer, and Gibson is nowhere close to the Everton first-team. He also has not moved out on loan in his two years with Everton.
That may change this January, however, as it appears that Everton are open to letting Gibson move on loan in January despite having just six months left on his contract.
Speaking to the Liverpool Echo, Everton’s U-23 manager David Unsworth has made some comments about a possible loan move for Gibson and fellow central defender Morgan Feeney.
“I have to say they have both been fantastic for me. They are both great players at this level and both leaders.
“They are both terrific lads and I have all the time in the world for them. Whatever happens in January with both of them, I don’t know. That’s up to Marco and Marcel.
“That’s not my decision. That would be Marcel’s decision. But if any manager phones me they’ll only hear good things.”
It appears that a decision on Gibson’s future has not been made yet but will be decided soon by manager Marco Silva and director Marcel Brands. However, there is no mention of a new contract on the horizon for Gibson.
From Everton’s perspective, they ideally would like to either extend the youngster or get a fee for him during the January window. If they don’t see a future for Gibson at Everton, then the best option for them would be to sell him in January.
Failing to accomplish that would see them lose Gibson for nothing this summer. We hope that Newcastle are monitoring his situation and would love to see him come back to his hometown club either for a modest fee in the winter window or as a free agent in the summer.

Comment #10Political shenanigans at Newcastle City Council planning department dictated as to how the planning decision and vote over development of Strawberry place would go .
They are persuaded and have in mind the vast money and development that is going on in the city of Leeds and are scared of falling behind .
Leeds is like the Nightsbridge of the North when it comes to retail ..Newcastle on the other hand is falling behind when it comes to investment from all quarter’s
Have you walked down Northumberland street lately? Dire !
Another Hotel and student bloody flats is not the answer .
Killing Newcastle United from within the civic centre ..shameful.

Comment #21Wonder if it’s dawned on the planning department that it’s Newcastle United that keeps a multitude of businesses and commerce alive and thriving ?
The Newcastle Evening Chronicle would not survive in it’s present form if it were not for the back pages.
The Chronicle has failed in it’s duty as a serious newspaper in neglecting to investigate and bring to the fore Ashleys seemingly dodgy deal (allegedly) with a reletive! over the land at Strawberry place and the sum of £9 million pounds in Ashleys back pocket, and that to the detriment of any future development of St’James’Park .
The Chronicle has bitten off the hand that feeds it in not going to work and publicising Ashleys profiteering and short term thinking and destruction of Newcastle United.
The Chronicle and the city council are pathetic ..if ever a word was more apt it’s that word pathetic.
You would think both entitys would guard Newcastle United and favour them jealously.
Not in Newcastle eh ?

Less we forget Ashley has pocketed 9£ million and the ground will remain stunted and lopsided so it does effect supporters and how they feel.
Proof of that and Ashleys ownership being detrimental to the well-being of Newcastle United is 10 thousand! empty seats! at each home game .
You can’t even refute that old bean.

I appreciate your clearing up the who said what and the nature of our conversation. I suppose the Mail, Express and Telegraph scanners among us are used to having dialogue defined as propaganda!
Your point about the council seeing the need for de development has a lot going for it but as you say student accommodation isn’t likely to generate jobs. And, the supposed comment about feasible development of SJP still being possible is valid – but for the reality that such development’s be error, restricted to say the least.
Anyway, it’s water under the bridge unless anyone’s up for appealing the decision. While other clubs are expanding their facilities, Ashley’s gone the other way. Heaven forbid the greedy git ‘a got ideas of running the club down and offering to buy the SJP site from the Freemen of the City.
