Newcastle 'ready to break their transfer record to land Moussa Diaby'

Newcastle are reportedly ready to break their new transfer record to sign Bayer Leverkusen winger Moussa Diaby.

The Magpies have taken a cautious approach to spending their new-found wealth since the Saudi takeover of the club.

And they have been ‘frustrated’ by their £60million valuation of the winger, but they have not given up hope of signing him.

Newcastle also have Everton's Anthony Gordon and Callum Hudson-Odoi of Chelsea on their radar, according to 90min.com

Four players arrived on permanent deals in January, and Eddie Howe’s side have added Nick Pope, Matt Targett and Sven Botman to their ranks this summer. 

Botman cost around £35million, though that fee could be eclipsed by a move for 22-year-old Diaby.

Diaby, 22, will reportedly command a fee ‘in excess’ of the club record £40m paid to Hoffenheim for Joelinton in 2019.
