Eddie Howe challenged Newcastle to produce a "perfect" performance when they host Paris Saint-Germain in their first Champions League home game...

Newcastle are hoping to push through a club record-breaking deal for AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali within days, the PA news agency understands. Sporting director Dan Ashworth has been pictured in the Italian city after he flew out to try to negotiate the terms of a move which it is understood would exceed the club’s £60million swoop for Sweden striker Alexander Isak last summer. Reports from Italy have suggested the 23-year-old, who is expected to captain his country in their opening Group D fixture against France at the European Under-21s Championships on Thursday evening, has agreed to the switch. A successful conclusion to the talks would take Newcastle’s transfer spending under their new owners past the £300million mark. Head coach Eddie Howe has identified Tonali as the holding midfielder he needs to allow Bruno Guimaraes in particular to thrive in an advanced role. Howe has vowed to strengthen his squad for the new campaign, during which the Magpies will play Champions League football for the first time since the 2002-03 season, as he attempts to challenge on both the domestic and European fronts. The 45-year-old guided the club to a fourth-place Premier League finish and the Carabao Cup final last season as they took a major step forward, but he is expecting a response from the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham and Chelsea this time around in the race for the top four. Howe has been at pains to point out the spending restrictions under which the club must operate, but at the same time has signalled his intention to recruit quality rather than quantity this summer. Tonali, who was a substitute in the senior Italy side’s 2-1 Euro 2024 qualifier defeat by England in March, made 48 appearances for Milan in all competitions last season and started both legs of their Champions League semi-final defeat by city rivals Inter.

The Tyson Fury vs Francis Ngannou live stream on TNT Sports Box Office has left fans fuming after being subjected to a screeching noise. The event, named ‘Battle of the Baddest’, has divided opinion, with the current WBC world heavyweight champion boxer taking on the former UFC heavyweight champion mixed martial artist in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. TNT Sports Box Office charged UK fans £21.95 to watch the fight, but the stream online and on the app was unavailable until just after 7pm BST. Worse still, many of those tuning in before encountered a piercing sound, leaving fight fans angry and unable to watch some of the undercard, including Martin Bakole’s knockout of Carlos Takam in another heavyweight encounter. FOLLOW LIVE: Fury vs Ngannou: Latest boxing fight updates and results tonight After encountering early issues with the footage, the broadcast was swiftly pulled and changed to just the TNT Sports logo and the following statement: "We apologise for the break in transmission and hope to correct the fault shortly.” One fan reacted on X, formerly known as Twitter: “Right this ain’t a joke any more lads what the f**** going on here, my ears are bleeding.” While another added: “Shout out to TNT Sports for murdering my eardrums.” TNT Sports presenter Laura Woods would later apologise when footage returned, stating: “A big apology to those who lost pictures, we had some technical issues, I know that must have been frustrating. “We think we know what it was about, so it won't happen again.” But even after the broadcast returned just before the undercard fight between Moses Itauma and Istvan Bernath, more issues emerged. As Itauma made his way to the ring, the sound disappeared for over a minute and footage flickered in and out, with many encountering static noise.
