The January switch window shuts in two weeks immediately, giving Newcastle a fortnight to do enterprise and usher in a brand new right-winger.
Outgoings can be wanted, it appears, though it appears more and more probably that we wait till the summer time to recruit as a substitute; a transfer that wouldn’t go down too properly with followers hoping for a mid-season enhance.
If PSR permits it and the fitting participant turns into out there on the proper worth, it might be silly to not make investments as we push for Champions League soccer and our first trophy since 1955.
With that in thoughts, right here’s the most recent identify that’s been linked in our seek for one other huge man:
In accordance with experiences in Italy, Newcastle United are competing with Fiorentina for Botafogo star Luiz Henrique.
Sunday’s version of Corriere dello Sport experiences that Fiorentina are pushing to signal the 24-year-old, however face competitors from Crystal Palace, Nottingham Forest, Newcastle and Zenit, with Lyon additionally talked about regardless of their monetary struggles.
Henrique solely joined Botafogo 12 months in the past after a spell in La Liga with Actual Betis, arriving on the Brazilian giants for €16m this time final yr.
The 6ft’ ahead has six caps for the Brazil nationwide group and may function down both flank or up entrance, providing the form of versatility Eddie Howe appreciates.
Whether or not it’s one for this month or in the summertime, I’m not satisfied Henrique is the form of participant we’ll be bringing in to finish our lengthy look forward to a brand new right-winger.
He could also be huge, versatile and a possible late bloomer after impressing out in Brazil, however he scored simply as soon as in 41 La Liga appearances whereas at Actual Betis.
After ready years for a top quality improve on Miguel Almiron, I believe the following right-winger to reach – both this month or extra probably in the summertime – can be a younger gem with large potential to succeed in the highest (Tyler Dibling?) or a winger with a confirmed observe file (Bryan Mbeumo?) who can instantly take our assault to the following stage.
