Newcastle are scouting £16m playmaker who plays just like Dominik Szoboszlai
It’s been a topsy-turvy start to the season for Newcastle United.
Eddie Howe’s men have been really inconsistent and yet they find th♐emselves one point adrift of third-placed Chelsea.

Newcastle have started to find their rhythm again in recent weeks and look well-placed to challenge 🐈for the top six.
Heading in🌺to the festive 😼period, their main concern should be keeping their star players fit after the injury crisis they had this time last year.
And to support them in that, 💞it’s just emerged that they’re l𒐪ooking to bolster their ranks during the January transfer window.
Newcastle have been scouting a highly♊-rated playmaker on the🍒 continent.
Newcastle scouting Ibrahim Maza
According to Sky Germany journalist 🐭Florian Ple✨ttenberg, Newcastle are one of a number of Premier League clubs interested in signing Hertha Berlin playmaker Ibrahim Maza.
West Ham United, Leicester City, Wolves, Southampton, B🍒rentford and Fulham are also keeping tabs on Maza.
The 18-year-old has registered six goal involvements in 14 appearances so far this season and is considered one of the most promising teenagers𝄹 in Europe.
It’s understood Maza doesn’t have a release cl🎃ause in his Hertha contract, so the German outfit are set to demand up to £16m for their ✅prized asset.
Maza plays like Dominik Szoboszlai
According to🦋 talent scout , Ma🔜za is of a very similar profile to Liverpool star Dominik Szoboszlai.
Kulig also awarded the teen a 9/10 potential rating, which is glowing♒ praise indeed and amplifies what a coup he’d be if Newcastle were to land his signature.
Howe doesn’t rไeally have a specialist number 10 in the squad at the moment, either, so his potential arrival would b✱ring a new dimension to the attack.
