A big Newcastle United transfer claim has emerged on their plans for the rest of the summer transfer window… Express journalist Ryan Taylor has claimed that the Magpies will be attempting to bring in an attacker to bolster their options at the top end of the pitch.
Dan Ashworth has already strengthened the club’s backline with deals to sign Matt Targett, Nick Pope, and Sven Botman – all on permanent deals – and the reporter is now backing up to look further up the pitch.
He told GIVEMESPORT: “I do think there’s scope to recruit another wide attacker as well, but obviously as we’ve seen with Newcastle, their recruitment strategy is actually very calculated, it’s not just throwing money at big names as many expected them to do, it’s smart shopping. “So, I don’t have any specific names, but I do think there will be an attacking signing on the agenda.” The Magpies’ head coach will be delighted by this claim as he will surely be eager to bring in more attacking talent to the team.
PIF sanctioned a spending spree in January and Chris Wood was the only out-and-out attacker amongst the group of new arrivals.
