Newcastle “very very similar to” £43m Fiorentina star – New identify linked through Italian media

With Callum Wilson’s contract set to run out on the finish of the season, and Alexander Isak desperately needing a again up choice to steadiness his minutes, Newcastle will certainly enter the striker market this summer time.

A number of names have been linked in latest weeks, with Liam Delap, Benjamin Sesko and Jonathan David all talked about in Craig Hope’s newest unique for The Mail on Thursday night time, though they had been talked about as a possible contingency plan ought to Isak depart.

One other identify has additionally cropped up, with a former Premier League flop now impressing in Serie A now linked with a possible transfer to St James’ Park through the Italian press.

In keeping with Italian outlet Calciomercato, Newcastle ‘very very similar to’ Fiorentina striker Moise Eager and have entered the race to deliver the again to the Premier League.

The Italian is having fun with a superb season at Fiorentina and at present has a €52m (£43m) launch clause inserted in his contract after netting 19 objectives in 31 appearances this season.

Nonetheless, Eddie Howe’s facet aren’t the one English facet within the former Everton striker’s signature.

The identical report states that each Arsenal and Tottenham have expressed their want to signal Kean, who regardless of a disappointing stint in Merseyside, could possibly be open to a transfer away from his native nation.

Regardless of his robust type for Fiorentina, Kean had a torrid time in England when he performed for Everton.

With simply two objectives scored in 32 appearances, the striker joined an extended checklist of Italians who did not impress overseas however returned to his native nation and excelled as soon as once more.

On a possible return to England, Calciomercato state: ‘Kean didn’t have a fantastic expertise in England with Everton and it stays to be seen if that may deter him from returning to the nation, or if it is going to inspire him to show doubters fallacious.’

If he was obtainable for a determine beneath his £43m launch clause and actually has turned the nook after discovering type at Fiorentina, he could also be thought of a great Callum Wilson substitute.

Nonetheless, I don’t imagine for a second that we’d gamble on Kean as a substitute for Alexander Isak, who continues to be touted with a transfer away from the North East regardless of Newcastle having each intention to increase his keep.
