It’s not Christmas but however it could be in January for Newcastle United.
With January quick approaching, we all know Newcastle have been linked with loads of gamers and perpetually can be as a result of ambition behind this PIF challenge. Each agent will need to put Newcastle United on their shoppers checklist, however, realistically, who do we wish and want?
Right here’s 4 right-wingers we might pursue within the New 12 months:
Bryan Mbeumo (Brentford)
His performances for Brentford have made him a standout within the Premier League, with the Cameroon worldwide bagging eight in 11 video games for the Bees this season.
In response to The Telegraph’s Luke Edwards and different retailers, he is without doubt one of the gamers prime of Newcastle’s Christmas wishlist, though a January transfer could also be difficult. After dropping Ivan Toney only a few months in the past, would they actually permit their newest talisman to go away halfway by way of the season?
Experiences have instructed he might be out there for round £50m, though that would appear a comparatively honest value contemplating his type, age (25) and his significance to Brentford.
Antoine Semenyo (Bournemouth)
The Ghanaian has loved an outstanding begin to the season, terrorising left-backs up and down the nation and scoring 4 occasions in Bournemouth’s first 11 video games to this point.
He seems to tick a number of bins for Eddie Howe’s Newcastle, as he’s not solely a flexible right-winger who can play down each flanks, however he’s large, robust, succesful with each ft and has the potential to develop along with his teaching on the age of 24.
Like Mbeumo, a mid-season deal might be powerful and doubtlessly costly given his significance to the Cherries, however it might be properly price exploring.
Alex Baena (Villarreal)
Experiences counsel Newcastle and Aston Villa are eager on a possible deal for Baena; the 23-year-old Spanish worldwide who’s valued at €50million on Transfermarkt and represented by the identical company that appears after Nick Pope and Will Osula.
The gifted Villarreal star has proven actual potential throughout his time in La Liga. After netting 5 objectives and a whopping 18 assists final time period, he’s proven his inventive qualities this season with 5 assists of their opening 11 video games.
Eddie Howe tends to choose home signings in the course of the season, feeling the summer season offers abroad arrivals extra time to combine and settle, however Bruno Guimaraes was an exception and few January’s in the past and look how that turned out!
Anthony Elanga (Nottingham Forest)
One other participant excelling this season after Forest’s excellent begin. He’s younger, has tempo to burn and is somebody we did try to signal on two events over the summer season; on the finish of June as a part of Anderson’s change and on deadline day, with Sky Sports activities suggesting a £40-50m bid was lodged.
Is he actually price that? I’m not so certain – some really feel it was a panic bid for somebody who wouldn’t actually take us to the subsequent degree. Talking about our curiosity a couple of months in the past, he stated:
“It’s clear to see who’re [in signing me]. It implies that I’m taking part in good soccer, when a giant membership exhibits curiosity. Nonetheless, Nottingham Forest can be a giant membership. They’ve gained two Champions Leagues, regardless that it was earlier than I used to be born… however I’m completely satisfied in Nottingham and have a contract there. I’m specializing in Nottingham Forest and I hope to have a very good season, then we’ll see what occurs…
“Alexander Isak talked to me about it (Newcastle United curiosity in signing Anthony Elanga). Nonetheless, I stated the identical to him, as I say to you. We’ve a very good relationship and good chemistry after we play collectively [for Sweden] however I’ve a contract with Nottingham Forest…”
Time will inform, however it might be an fascinating window given our lack of spending over the summer season. Remark beneath with a right-winger you’d wish to see us pursue this winter…
