EPL 2019 transfer news: Steve Bruce waiting for ‘compromise’ between Sheffield, Newcastle


Premier League 2019/20 transfer news


Sheffield Wednesday manager Steve Bruce says he is awaiting some kind of compromise as Newcastle United look to tempt him away from Sheffield Wednesday.

Bruce, 58, was quickly installed as the bookmakers favourite to replace Benitez, who departed St James’ Park when his contract expired on June 30.

Rafael Benitez left Newcastle United last month.

Bruce told the Sheffield Star: “Speculation is speculation. It’s in the hands of the club. For me, at this particular moment, there is nothing really to talk about until the two clubs reach some sort of compromise.

“Look, it has happened so quickly that I have got to take stock of the situation. It’s in the hands of both clubs and we will see what develops over the next 24 to 48 hours.”

Newcastle are hoping to reach an agreement with Bruce.

Newcastle want to appoint Bruce as their new manager as soon as possible with the start of the new English Premier League season just a month away.

The two clubs reportedly spent last Thursday attempting to reach an agreement over compensation with Bruce having indicated he wanted to talk to the club he supported as a boy.
