Newcastle United is now leading the race to sign an invaluable “international” midfielder this summer, according to a new transfer update.
Newcastle looking at the sensational attack signature
The Magpies and Pif do everything they can to keep Alexander Isak this summer, but even if the Swedish remains in place, it seems that they are still considering exceptional competition for him.
The RB Leipzig star, Benjamin Sesko, and Hugo Ekitike from Eintract Frankfurt were both linked to a summer move in Newcastle, the first being looked at by large clubs, including Liverpool and Arsenal. Sesko’s agent even contacted the Magpies concerning a potential move to St James’ Park.
Discussions also took place between Newcastle and Ekitike before the new Premier League season, and those of St James’ Park have now made an offer for the Frankfurt attacker.
Although a new striker seems to be on the agenda for Newcastle, additions are also necessary in other fields on the ground, and a new midfielder who, the supporters, knew well enough was mentioned as an option.
Newcastle in pole position to sign Conor Gallagher
According to a new update of Out of handNewcastle offers “the most serious interest” in the Atletico Madrid midfielder, Conor Gallagher, this summer and is at the top of his signature.
Eddie Howe is a great admirer, the report saying that Gallagher is considered “a key figure in the redesign of the Newcastle midfielder while they are preparing for a return to European competition”, with Atletico which potentially accepts offers up to 43 million pounds Sterling.
Gallagher has matured as a player since his move to Atletico last year, taking advantage of an impressive first season and being praised by the manager Diego Simeone.
“When we think of him, we think of his youth, energy and intensity in the game. He also hits the ball very well. It is never easy for players from England to adapt to the Spanish championship, to the language. He has contributed very well in different places and in positions where he does not feel more comfortable. He will evolve.
Meanwhile, Mauricio Pochettino described Gallagher as “invaluable” during their stay together in Chelsea, and he has energy and quality to be an excellent addition for Newcastle in the middle of the park.
