With experiences popping out suggesting that Newcastle United will miss out on Benjamin Sesko it begs the query the place does Eddie Howe flip to subsequent for a striker?
Properly, in keeping with journalist Craig Hope, nowhere, but.
The Each day Mail reporter was on Sky Sports activities Information’ Again Pages Tonight present on Wednesday and he mentioned he believes {that a} striker is not the precedence for Eddie Howe with right-wing a extra urgent challenge.
That does not imply that Howe is not after a brand new striker, but it surely does imply that he is unlikely to be pushing exhausting for one initially of the window.
Eddie Howe’s switch priorities lie elsewhere
Talking about one explicit goal, Everton’s Dominic Calvert-Lewin in whom Newcastle have a reported curiosity, Hope says he would not see that one occurring with Howe extra eager on conserving Callum Wilson relatively than shelling out £60million on the 27-year-old England worldwide.
“I feel Eddie Howe’s desire is to attempt to preserve Callum Wilson this summer season.
“He sees a higher want elsewhere within the squad, notably right-wing, maybe a brand new goalkeeper and centre-halves as effectively.
“I’d be stunned [if Newcastle do sign Calvert-Lewin]. Eddie Howe does like Calvert-Lewin. They’ve enquired about him earlier than in earlier home windows. This story dropped final week. My data then was ‘sure he’s on an inventory, however he’s not prime of that listing and it wouldn’t be a precedence’.”
Our nerves are jangling already over the considered beginning the season with two strikers once more
Actually, we’re unsure how we really feel about this.
Whereas we had been by no means excited by the Calvert-Lewin hyperlinks, it did imply we had been in search of a striker. Now we have nothing towards conserving Callum Wilson per se both, but when we do not usher in one other ahead to return in forward of him within the pecking order then what the hell are we doing?
We all know Howe is loyal to the gamers he likes, in all probability to a fault, however we’re completely scared of going into this season with simply Callum Wilson as backup for Alexander Isak once more.
Fortunately there is a lengthy approach to go between now and the beginning of the season, and there is nonetheless a fortnight till the switch window opens. Breathe in. And out. In. And out.
