After covering goalkeepers and centre-backs in my first two pieces, we move to the next priority position at Newcastle United this summer.
A right-winger. After a long wait, this summer is surely our time to bring in another option; and a quality one at that.
Newcastle to finally land a right-winger?
A position that has been left unattended for too long now must be finally addressed come July.
Jacob Murphy has been so impressive this season, certainly his best year at the club with Sunday’s assist his 12th of the campaign, but he isn’t the long-term solution.
Not only that, but he is the club’s only out-and-out right winger after the sale of Miguel Almiron in January. Now is the time to get it sorted, and done so to the point that can help take us to the next level.
Many names have floated around the Newcastle transfer sphere since the takeover was finalised, however, a few particular individuals seem to have caught our recruitment’s eye especially recently.
Who could be targeted?
Brentford’s Bryan Mbeumo has been watched, Southampton sensation Tyler Dibling could be an exciting addition under Eddie Howe’s guidance and Bournemouth’s Antoine Semenyo tore us apart at St James’ Park a few months ago.
Celtic’s Nicolas Kuhn could be a low-cost gamble worth taking and there has also been links to PSV’s Johan Bakayoko, Sporting Lisbon’s Francisco Trincao and Monaco talent Maghnes Akliouche; a player Paul Mitchell may know well from his time in France.
Mbuemo is the obvious choice for me as he has proved his worth in the league already, would suit us perfectly and has the elite level of output we are crying out for. But, any of the above could be welcome additions to the squad.
Each will have their suitors across Europe and few will come cheap, increasing our need for a strong end to the season and Champions League football to attract our top targets.
Who would you like to see us target? Let us know in the comments section below.
Rayan Cherki or Brahim Díaz
..both have a very unique quality..literally they can play with both feet…

Rayan Cherki is a different category Newcastle don’t have a chance …he will probably end up at psg or atle Madrid….he isn’t a hidden gem …he was known when he was 16 years old…

Hopefully we don’t sign a British player just because he is British…Real Madrid won’t sign u up because ur just spanish..the palace lad isn’t a world class defender..man United would probably sign him but not Munich, barsa, inter, psg, Madrid, city because there scouts know dumb players

Bastoni is class because he literally plays for inter but somehow this Chelsea reject who perform for palace have more respect..just because ur British don’t make u better..

Eventually we have to sign classy players…not Bowens and Palmer’s…we need modrics and kdb and be like Real Madrid..

The only right winger Newcastle would need is Mbuemo, he has the same temperament and skills as Mo Salah, very efficient and if he stays injury free, a long and successful career at NUFC would be on the horizon.
