Newcastle United dismiss reports of agreement for Algeria winger Anis Hadj Moussa
Newcastle United have denied reports claiming the club is close to signing Algeria international Anis Hadj Moussa, with sporting director Ross Wilson dismissing suggestions that an agreement has been reached.
Speculation surrounding the Feyenoord winger has intensified in recent days, with several reports linking the 23-year-old to a move to the Premier League before the summer transfer window closes.
The rumours suggested that Hadj Moussa had already agreed personal terms with Newcastle on a five-year contract and that discussions between the English club and Feyenoord were nearing a successful conclusion.
However, Newcastle have moved to reject those claims.
Speaking to 365 Scores, sporting director Ross Wilson denied that the club had reached an agreement or entered advanced negotiations for the Algerian international.
According to Wilson, the reports circulating about the proposed transfer do not reflect Newcastle’s current transfer activity.
His comments were made in response to growing speculation that had gathered momentum across several media outlets, with Hadj Moussa increasingly linked with a move away from the Dutch club.
Despite the ongoing rumours, the winger remains a Feyenoord player and continues his preparations for the upcoming season in the Netherlands.
Having returned to training following the summer break, Hadj Moussa is working with the Feyenoord squad during pre-season as the club prepares for the new campaign.
While transfer speculation continues to surround his future, there has been no official indication that a move is imminent.
The Algerian international has become one of the players attracting significant interest during the current transfer window, particularly from clubs in England.
That attention has fuelled repeated reports over a possible departure, although Newcastle’s latest response has cast doubt on claims that a deal is close.
With several weeks remaining before the transfer window closes, Hadj Moussa’s future remains unresolved. For now, the player continues to focus on his commitments with Feyenoord while the transfer rumours persist.
Newcastle’s public denial has provided the clearest indication yet of the club’s position, making it clear that reports of an agreement or advanced negotiations are inaccurate.
As things stand, Hadj Moussa remains fully involved in Feyenoord’s pre-season preparations while uncertainty over his next move continues.
