Newcastle eye a move for “phenomenal” 22 y/o, after Howe admission

Newcastle United will return to Premier League action this weekend when they head to the south coast for their clash with Brighton and Hove Albion on Saturday.

Given the turbulence of the summer transfer window and the sale of Alexander Isak, Eddie Howe will be fairly satisfied with how his team have responded so far this campaign.

The addition of Nick Woltemade has given supporters hope that the departure of the Swedish striker won’t damage their chances of Champions League qualification and further success.

Malick Thiaw and Anthony Elanga have also made positive impacts in their respective positions, adding crucial quality both in the right-wing role and in defence.

Despite headlines perpetuating a sense of disaster for Newcastle over the summer, the club have not only added huge talent but also banked crucial funds after struggling with ongoing PSR issues.

The Magpies have faced a very public battle with the strict PSR restrictions, but have managed to toe the line by selling youth prospects at the right price over recent years.

Yankuba Minteh and Elliot Anderson became collateral damage in the club’s effort to balance the books after heavy investment during the first 18 months of the takeover.
