Newcastle United are in need of reinforcements as they look to achieve their 2023/24 aim.
Newcastle finds themselves situated in the seventh position, a slightly distant placement from the coveted top spot. The team, under the management of Eddie Howe, has encountered setbacks due to a string of injuries, sidelining 11 crucial first-team players.
As the January transfer window approaches, there’s a palpable recognition within the club that strategic additions could propel the Magpies forward in the latter half of the season.
According to reports from Rudy Galetti, Newcastle is keen on addressing their attacking prowess, and one name that prominently name in their discussions is Serhou Guirassy from Stuttgart.
The French striker has been enjoying a prolific spell, notching an impressive 15 goals in just 10 Bundesliga appearances. The allure of Guirassy is heightened by a reported release clause of £15.2m, making him an attractive prospect for the club.
Adding to Newcastle’s attacking options is the resurgence of Alexander Isak, evident in his recent goal against Paris Saint-Germain. The prospect of a lethal partnership between Isak and Guirassy is certainly tantalizing for the Magpies. The 27-year-old defender’s brilliance at the season’s outset also suggests a potential boost to Newcastle’s firepower.
With aspirations of securing a Champions League or, at the very least, a European spot, Newcastle is strategically eyeing reinforcements, and Guirassy’s potential acquisition could significantly fortify their position.
