Newcastle want to sign £29m attacker who plays just like Chelsea’s Jadon Sancho

Newcastle United endured a really tough summer transfer window.

Newcastle missed out on Marc Guehi, who was a top target for Eddie Ho♕we andꦉ they also failed to land a right winger.

Howe was also left frustrated by the ♔sales of Elliot Anderson and Yankuba Minteh, so evidently theꦍre’s outstanding work to be done on the squad in January.

With that said, a fresh rumour has just emerged linking Newcastle to an attacker on the continent.

Newcastle want to sign Oscar Gloukh

According to , Newcastle are 🔯showing a strong interest in Red Bull Salzburg playmaker Oscar Gloukh.

The Austrian giants are willing to listen to offers 🌃of around £29m for Gloukh – who’s netted five league goals in seven outings so far this term.

The Magpies aren’t alone in their interest, however, as Arsenal and Aston Villa are also keeping tabs on th🔜e🅘 20-year-old.

Gloukh is thought to be open to a move to the Premier Leag🦩ue.

Gloukh has been likened to Jadon Sancho

Interestingly, Gloukh’s underlying data (per ) suggests he is of a similar profile꧂ to Chelsea winger Jadon Sancho.

If Newcastle were to land his signature, he’d likely compete with Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes𓆉 for a spot on the left wing.

Though, Gloukh also can operate as a number 10 – s🌃o perhaps he could play just in behind Alexander Isak.

A telling January window awaits on Tyneside.
