Newcastle United need new signings and quickly to salvage what has been strenuous summer so far at St James’ Park.
Malick Thiaw is in – a new £34m centre-back from AC Milan – and the latest link sees a recently relegated talent tipped to arrive on Tyneside.
Adding to an earlier report, The Telegraph have now reveal more details on our interest in Leicester City’s Bilal El Khannouss.
Midlands reporter John Percy states that the 21-year-old is ‘serious target’ of Eddie Howe’s, with the boss desperate to bolster his squad over the final three weeks of the window.
Despite suggestions that the Moroccan international’s relegation release clause stood at £22.5m, The Telegraph reveal that it’s actually in excess of £30m – and it expires next week.
As a result, Newcastle are now ‘accelerating their interest’ and seriously considering making a move, with time not on our side if we plan to activate his current clause.
Newcastle see the playmaker as someone with ‘huge potential’, with Howe also eager to bring in versatile attackers who can boost our squad and be tempted by the offer of Champions League football.
We’ve been crying out for a true 10 for ages. We struggle against teams that sit back and hit us on break at home…..and the harm from this type of tactic is far more potent in champs league.
We defo need a specialist lock pick to unlock the deep block…..Howe wanted Maddison ……We got to risky young fullbacks.
Great business with the benefit of hindsight 😂 but we still need a 10.
Still confused about why we weren’t targeting Elliot …..not a true 10 …..attacking inside right in old parlance …..but still 😂
