Newcastle United positively must signal a top-class striker in the summertime to help Alexander Isak, who’s having to shoulder the burden of being Newcastle’s foremost striker alone.

Callum Wilson has simply returned from the damage which has saved him out for many of the season, and to be honest to the Magpies’ quantity 9, he discovered the online in his first begin of the marketing campaign.

Nevertheless, he isn’t been a lot use for Isak this season, who has needed to begin just about each recreation for Eddie Howe’s aspect no matter health resulting from a scarcity of different choices.

When Isak hasn’t been out there, Anthony Gordon has stepped into the center, regardless of £15 million summer season signing Will Osula being on the bench. Due to this fact, Newcastle positively want extra reinforcements in the summertime.

Would Victor Osimhen play second fiddle to Alexander Isak? Uncertain

The issue is, we are going to need a longtime goal-scorer who can play on the highest degree, however convincing a participant of that ilk to return and be second-choice behind Isak could also be tough.

That being stated, The Chronicle are as soon as once more reporting that Newcastle could also be provided the possibility to signal Victor Osimhen after he returns to Napoli following his mortgage spell at Galatasaray.

This is not a brand new thought, with an identical story surfacing in November final 12 months. It is believed {that a} payment can be round £60 million which is a snip for a participant of Osimhen’s fame. Particularly when you think about the story doing the rounds a few years in the past that the PIF had struck a deal for £82 million to deliver him to Newcastle. That clearly turned out to be false.

London media have managed to show this into an Isak story too

As anticipated, the London-based media are rubbing their fingers collectively as a result of of their heads, both we get Osimhen and allow them to purchase Isak, or they get Osimhen and not want Isak.

So, simply out of spite, I hope we maintain Isak and signal Osimhen.

If we’re being practical, although, we are able to see Osimhen going to Chelsea or Arsenal over us if he strikes to the Premier League. He is not going to wish to compete with Isak and Isak is best.
