Newcastle Transfers: 10 Signings New Owners Must Target First
5. Wissam Ben Yedder (ST) - Monaco
There can be little doubt about the most immediate area that the new owners should be addressing and that is the current striking options. Andy Carroll has proven reliably unreliable, Dwight Gayle is a capable marksman but perhaps short of the level of quality required for a first choice premier league goal-getter and record signing Joelinton has been nothing short of a disaster.
Goals are desperately needed, but a lack of immediate European football make getting a world class operator in footballs most coveted position very difficult. However, perpetual back of the net hitter Wissam Ben Yedder may be the answer for Newcastle's woes.
Currently plying his trade for a struggling Monaco side, Ben Yedder is a serial goal scorer. A clinical hitman who has rarely failed to hit double digits throughout his many campaigns at the top of European football- Ben Yedder is a realistically attainable target with the pedigree and clinical edge that Newcastle fans have been crying out for for years.
