It is a particular transfer window that is experiencing Newcastle this summer. The English club simply fails to complete a single priority recruit on the market and is doubled by competition. For the moment only Anthony Elaga has joined the club against a check for 62 million euros. For the others, despite an interesting financial offer, they generally prefer to join the competition. This is particularly the case for priority at the number 9 position: Benjamin Šeško. The Leipzig striker was very coveted this summer.
And while Newcastle is attacked on all sides for Alexander Isak, the Slovenian striker was the priority to succeed him. The negotiations lasted several weeks and the English press revealed that the Magpies struggled to really advance on this file. While Isak forces his departure to Liverpool, Newcastle quickly wanted to complete the arrival of Benjamin Šeško and was ready to put the price. But, as a symbol, the 22 -year -old striker finally chose to spin on the side of Manchester United who nevertheless arrived well after this file.
Newcastle activates its plan C
As a result, at the beginning of August, one week before the resumption of the championship, Newcastle may fear having no attacker for his start to the season. And it's obviously out of the question. According to information from Telegraphthe management of the English club has decided to activate a new track in recent hours. Now Newcastle via his coach Eddie Howe targets the Senegalese striker from Chelsea Nicolas Jackson. The blues are open to a sale since they recruited Liam Delap and João Pedro on this transfer window.
Newcastle therefore wishes to take the opportunity to recover Jackson this summer for an amount around 90 million euros. But the English daily specifies that at the club, we are wary as this summer transfer window is complicated. As a reminder, João Pedro, James Trafford, Bryan Mbeumo and Hugo Ekitike, targeted by Newcastle, all signed elsewhere. Magpies will have to have better arguments this time. But in this case, Newcastle can count on the player's wish, not closed to the idea of changing the air even more with a guaranteed holder place.
