Newcastle 'go big' for £60m target with major push on Friday to agree terms

Newcastle's summer window has been a shambles and it needs saving, quickly.

Alexander Isak wants out and we've just lost out on James Trafford to Man City, forcing us to up the ante in other departments with two strikers now needed if the Swede departs.

Talks for Yoane Wissa continue with Brentford over a £35m+ deal, but widespread reports have emerged on our big push to sign Benjamin Sesko as a potential Isak replacement.

The Athletic's David Ornstein has confirmed the RB Leipzig star is a 'top target' as we look to react in fear of losing Isak, with the 6ft 5' Slovenian a long-standing target.

Fabrizio Romano adds that we are ready to 'go big' in a bid to sign the 22-year-old, with Toon chiefs set to present the project to the striker who was considered by Arsenal before they opted for Viktor Gyokeres instead.

TalkSPORT's Ben Jacobs has also revealed that we are working to agree a deal with the player himself today, holding talks on Friday over personal terms.

Jacobs adds that a bid is imminent for the £60m-rated striker, but insists it is not an easy deal to complete based on the finances involved and structure of payments RB Leipzig are likely to demand.

Isak leaving is a huge blow, if it happens, but reacting quickly and landing Sesko and Wissa in his place for a combined £100m would go a long way to replacing his goals.
