Newcastle United is interested in sign Samu Aghehowa from Porto, and they will face the competition from Aston Villa.
The 21 -year -old striker succeeded well enough for the Portuguese club, scoring 27 goals last season. He is on the radar of the best clubs because of his performances, and it will be interesting to see if Newcastle can conclude the agreement.
Arsenal, Manchester United and Chelsea also keep an eye on its situation.
Newcastle needs another striker
They need more depth in the attack unit, and they were too dependent on Alexander Isak. The Swedish international is a world class player, but he needs more support in the attack.
Newcastle will participate in the Champions League next season, and they cannot hope to spend an entire season with a single reliable striker. The signing of the 21 -year -old Spanish striker would be a wise decision. According to Fichajes, it is estimated at 100 million euros, and it is very unlikely that Newcastle will agree to pay this kind of money for him. It is a great talent with a bright future, but it always improves largely at the highest level. Porto should be reasonable with their requests.
Will Porto sell Samu Aghehowa?
That said, Portuguese outfit does no pressure to sell it, and it is logical that they are unreasonable with their requests. It remains to be seen how the situation is developing. If Newcastle has managed to sign a promising young attacker like him, it could be a master stroke for them.
The 21 -year -old is not only a reliable scorer; He has the physique to prosper in English football, and he could make a huge difference for Newcastle in the last third.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa depends too much on Ollie Watkins. It is not surprising that they are considering other options. It will be interesting to see if they can bring an attacker before closing the window.
