# Newcastle: Sander Berge is ‘gettable’ for the Magpies

**[Newcastle United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/) could make a late offer for Sheffield United midfielder Sander Berge, according to transfer insider Dean Jones.**

### The Lowdown: Berge attracting interest

Berge has been the subject of interest from numerous [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/) clubs, with Newcastle, Arsenal, Liverpool and Fulham all [listed](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-face-sander-berge-26111179) as potential suitors, although the latter club were at one stage [said](https://theathletic.com/4135072/2023/01/29/sander-berge-fulham-sheffield-united/) to be the most serious.

There have been conflicting reports about the Magpies’ interest in the midfielder, with Keith Downie [claiming](https://twitter.com/SkySports_Keith/status/1620016953153957888?s=20&t=ifJ9TWYYoa2fWkOhcF9jqA) that they have made a loan-with-obligation offer, while Fabrizio Romano has [suggested](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-news/newcastle-united-transfer-rumours-nufc-sander-berge-fabrizio-romano/) that it is ‘not advanced’.

### The Latest: Gettable for Newcastle

In an interview with [GIVEMESPORT](https://www.givemesport.com/88110458-newcastle-transfer-news-could-sign-20m-star-late-option-st-james-park), Jones claimed that the Norwegian being linked to so many clubs is an indication that a move to Newcastle could be possible before the deadline.

The journalist said:*“The only real area, right now, that I would expect any movement at Newcastle is in central midfield.*

*“There could still be new options put on the table. Sander Berge, for example, has been touted around everywhere.*

*“It makes you think he is gettable and it wouldn’t surprise me if a late option like that was to come on the table and they might take it.”*

### The Verdict: Get it done?

[Hailed](https://www.thestar.co.uk/sport/football/sheffield-united/sheffield-united-team-mate-insists-its-vital-rolls-royce-sander-berge-is-not-sold-3818018) as a ‘Rolls-Royce’ by Sheffield United teammate Chris Basham, the 24-year-old has weighed in with a solid return from central midfield in the Championship this season, picking up [four](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sander-berge/leistungsdaten/spieler/333014) goals and three assists in 19 appearances.

The maestro has an international pedigree, making [32](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/sander-berge/nationalmannschaft/spieler/333014) caps for national side Norway, and he excels in a number of different areas, with an average of [0.23](https://fbref.com/en/players/d0b6129f/Sander-Berge) non-penalty goals per 90 over the past year ranking him in the 96th percentile compared to other midfielders, while 1.54 dribbles places him in the 96th.

Given that Jonjo Shelvey has [arrived](https://www.skysports.com/watch/video/sports/football/12799692/jonjo-shelvey-arrives-at-the-city-ground) at the City Ground to complete a move to Nottingham Forest, [Eddie Howe](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tag/eddie-howe/) needs another option in the engine room, and Berge has shown that he is ready for the step up to the Premier League.
