Newcastle are parting ways with sporting director Paul Mitchell after less than a year in the job. The 43-year-old will exit the club at the end of the month by mutual consent and leave manager Eddie Howe in charge of recruitment until a successor is found. Mitchell only joined the club last July as a replacement to Dan Ashworth, who moved on to Manchester United.

Jobe Bellingham is in Germany for transfer talks with Eintracht Frankfurt - just days after helping Sunderland secure promotion back to the Premier League. Frankfurt are one of three German clubs interested in signing the 19-year-old this summer. The other two are Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig. Dortmund have already held talks with the midfielder and his representatives on a visit to England's north east earlier this month.

Locked on points and goal difference in fourth and fifth, the visit of Chelsea on Sunday is Newcastle's biggest game of the season. Or is it? Less than two months ago they beat champions Liverpool in the Carabao Cup final to win their first domestic trophy in 70 years. The truth is Newcastle's season has been littered with huge games - it's a barometer of how far they have come in recent times. This crucial contest in the Champions League race is just the latest.

After Newcastle's Carabao Cup final win over Liverpool, Alexander Isak said: "This is just the start."Given the 70-year wait for a domestic trophy, Newcastle's players and fans have to enjoy this moment. The Geordies around London on Sunday night certainly seemed to be doing that!Players will be heading off on international duty but there will be a celebration organised. And the break at least gives everyone a chance to soak in the success.

Of course, it was said with a smile from the Newcastle boss, and our subsequent interview underlined he was already looking forward positively, but he must have been hoping for something a little stronger than water to deal with a manic three days that saw him lose three of his best players to injury and suspension. Anthony Gordon's FA Cup straight red card meant that he would miss the next three games - including Sunday's Carabao Cup Final against his boyhood club, Liverpool. Got Sky?
