There’s a growing feeling that Newcastle’s January transfer plans could be changing
Newcastle United may be interested in signing a striker in the near future amid concerns over Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson.
have been detailing Newcastle’s future transfer plans amid what may be a busy few months for the club.
And whilst the report does name the usual targets such as Manchester City’s Kalvin Phillips.
The information also suggests that Newcastle may now target a centre-forward given their concerns over Isak and Wilson’s fitness issues.
Both strikers have been in excellent form when available this season, netting seven goals apiece, however, a fresh issue for Wilson has now sparked concerns.
also says that those in recruitment circles are now aware of Newcastle’s need for a striker, with agents now linking various options.
This may be surprising news for some Newcastle fans who may have considered their striking situation the least of their worries under Eddie Howe.
Gabby Agbonlahor has now been demanding that Kalvin Phillips considers a switch to Newcastle in January – a move that does now seem very sensible.
But it seems Newcastle’s needs may be changing, and a centre-forward may soon arrive.
Newcastle may sign a striker given Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak’s injuries
Perhaps some fans on Tyneside may also point to Anthony Gordon.
The winger has demonstrated a superb transformation this season, a player now ready to shoulder a lot of responsibility.
And when both strikers have been missing, Gordon has been used centrally.
However, the winger has been less effective in the role, and Howe won’t want to stunt the progress of his signing.
It’s a difficult one for Newcastle to balance, should they sign a starting striker then they will have a problem when all three are fit.
Perhaps a versatile profile may be best suited, someone who can also be advantageous on the wing.
Harvey Barnes is still missing, along with a host of other players.
And whilst a central midfielder or a centre-back may currently be seen as the priority for Newcastle, fitness concerns over Isak and Wilson may now cause a surprise.
