Sign Up × United linked with Egypt winger Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Pyramids FC forward Ibrahim Adel, according to reports. The 22-year-old Egyptian winger has attracted plenty of attention from the Premier League, with Newcastle listed as one of the clubs interested. Rangers are believed to have made a move for the winger over the summer, with United, Brighton, West Ham and Villa now linked, as well as series of European clubs. Liverpool are thought to have cooled interest in the young star, who is set to play for Egypt in the African Cup of Nations in 2024. Hutchison on nationality debate Former Sunderland midfielder Don Hutchison says he doesn't 'understand' how players can switch international allegianice, amid speculation over Elliot Anderson and Harvey Barnes' international futures. Anderson was called up to the Scotland squad this month but injury kept him out of their games, meaning he is still elligible for England, while Barnes is reported to be considering switching to Scotland after winning one cap for England. “This is weird to me,” said Hutchison. “This surely comes down to how you feel. I always wanted to play for Scotland. You should never be allowed to switch in my opinion, even if you’ve played a friendly, you’ve played two minutes, you’ve played an hour. “What gives you the right to say as a player, ‘right, I’m going to go play for Scotland, oh, by the way, in two weeks time, I might switch and go and play for England’. I don’t understand it. “Nothing to do with it (England being better than Scotland). I don’t know what these boys are thinking. I don’t understand how you are Harvey Barnes and you want to switch. And you are Elliott Anderson, you want to switch. It’s like the Jack Grealish and Declan Rice thing with Ireland. You chose Ireland. You shouldn’t be allowed to switch.” Stay at the heart of the Champions League action with our WhatsApp community Excited to follow Newcastle United in Europe?
