The Championship star Newcastle could look to sign this summer – An ideal fit?

Newcastle’s need to upgrade their squad is no secret, and on top of adding star quality, it’s imperative that the club adds additional players who will beef up the squad, who also have potential to become stars themselves.

The Championship is a league host to an abundance of talent; you only need to look at current Premier League stars bought from the Championship to see this, for example players like Jarrod Bowen, Eberechi Eze, James Maddison and Michael Olise.

As well as being great in both half spaces, he’s also good at “traditional” wing play: playing wide on the touchline and running at defenders. He is direct and confident; occasionally leading to mistakes in decision making, but ones that can be coached out of his…
