Newcastle lose Gordon, Tonali and Guimaraes as new boss Jaissle admits 'vacuum'

Anthony Gordon, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes all left Newcastle in the 2025 summer window. New head coach Matthias Jaissle, appointed on 5 August, said the departures have left a "vacuum" at the club. He called it a "big transition phase" and warned success "will not happen overnight." Newcastle open against Liverpool on 23 August.
