I would rather sign the Martinelli who plays for the Brazilian team Fluminense who play Chelsea in the semis tomorrow.

Forest agrees to sell Anthony Elanga to Newcastle.
I wonder if Newcastle is anticipating the sale of a certain star forward of theirs.

They have been short since they sold ASM and Almiron’s form fell off a cliff. It’s left them having to get 30+ appearances a season from Jacob Murphy. It’s an area where they definitely need to strengthen even without losing anyone else.

CL football too, so they’ll need a deeper squad.

Rumours are that NewCastle are interested in signing Ekiteke - May be may be Isak is coming to join us 
I dont see NewCastle spending 100 million on a striker to play behind Isak or a replacement for Wilson and also if i am not wrong they are in for Watkins as well.

I would argue that it is the smart move from Newcastle. Wilson as a back up is a loss and its a big burden to place on Isak. This move would give them a year to assess Ekiteke’s readiness and with all going well put them in a strong position in terms of dealing with ongoing interest in Isak.

Newcastle are interested and they should be - Ekitike profiles quite closely to Isak. Still, I think once Darwin’s exit goes through - and Osimhen leaving Napoli has happened so it presumably will be quick now - we will make a decisive move for Ekitike and get him wrapped up quickly for preseason.

He’s also someone they have seriously looked at before so will have a good idea of how he will fit them.

Have not heard much about this guy recently, but would be at the top of my list of attacking players available.

Step up Agent Trent, it is time to do your job
Don’t think it would be in his interest.
He’s not exactly a CF, is he? If we were to buy him then I’d imagine that he’d be a replacement for Diaz, who of course is not leaving. Or is he?
Which would still leave the door open for Ekitike. What a front three that would be. Possibly. You know, if they all gel with each other.

He’s not a striker, but he did have quality periods as a false #9 when Benzema was out. Rodrygo is a bit unlucky because ultimately, I think LW might be his best position (now we have to judge that potential and the time spent at RW, because today he’s mostly a RW). Because of Vini (and Neymar for Brazil), he mostly had to play as a RW. Which he did really well, he has evolved in last years. He’s a player who can play in all 3 forward positions.

Nice versatile option to have then if we are actually interested.

Will real want a prohibitive fee?
We could get some journos to write some rubbish about how he offended some Perez business colleagues.

Wasn’t he seen dancing with a Scouse influencer while wearing a red and white scarf and shouting “Boss, tha’!” recently?
I think Gary off YouTube mentioned it.
