Newcastle Transfer News Round-Up: Every Player The Magpies Have Been Linked With From June 1st-7th

6. Aleksandar Mitrovic (Anderlecht)

Despite reports suggesting Newcastle United had €œagreed€ to sign striker Aleksandar Mitrovic, Anderlecht insist they will not sell the forward this summer. Partizan Belgrade president Dragan Duric claimed in May that a deal had been agreed between the Magpies and Anderlecht for his former player, while reports in Germany suggested Borussia Monchengladbach were trying to hijack the £15 million move. The 20-year-old Serbian has netted 42 goals in 88 matches for the Belgian club, and has a career total of 67 strikes from 156 games - and Anderlecht general manager Hermann van Holsbeeck has insisted the club do not want him to leave. A powerful and relatively-quick forward, Mitrovic has an eye for goal and he grabbed headlines when he scored Anderlecht€™s equaliser at the Emirates Stadium last November when the Belgian side came from three goals down to draw 3-3 against Arsenal in a Champions League group-stage match. Anderlecht paid Partizan Belgrade a club-record £4 million for the 11-cap Serbia international, who started his career at Teleoptik, back in August 2013 and he has gone on to become one of Europe€™s most sought-after forwards. In 2014-15 Mitrovic bagged 26 goals in 49 matches, including 18 in 35 Belgian Pro League appearances and three in the Champions League.
