da bwin： Newcastle have been interested in a few strikers as we get closer to transfer deadline day with Emmanuel Adebayor and Paco Alcacer linked.
da dobrowin： However, a fresh claim from journalist Lee Ryder has confirmed the Magpies are keeping a close eye on Chelsea forward Olivier Giroud.
He suggests that Steve Bruce considered a loan deal earlier in the window but with the Frenchman yet to find a club this month, a move could be back on the cards.
Giroud has yet to score all season but that hasn’t stopped Newcastle fans from raving over the idea of him arriving at St James’ Park.
Taking to Twitter, multiple fans responded to the claim with one suggesting the 33-year-old would be a cracking signing for the Toon Army.
Despite not finding the net in 2019/20, Giroud has been labelled as the best target man in the world by Eden Hazard so it’s hardly surprising that some sectors at Newcastle rate him highly.
Further supporters were eager for this deal to go through in order to top off an impressive transfer market for Steve Bruce and his men.
Amid talk of a potential takeover, the Magpies have added Valentino Lazaro and Nabil Bentaleb to their ranks on loan while a temporary move for Danny Rose looks as though it’s set to go through as well.
Signing a striker, therefore, would top things off nicely. Newcastle are in dire need of attacking recruits given Joelinton’s struggles since arriving.
He’s scored just twice after his summer arrival while Yoshinori Muto, Andy Carroll and Dwight Gayle have no league strikes between them.
Whether or not the World Cup winner arrives in the north-east remains to be seen but it’ll certainly be an eye-catching signing and one to keep a very close eye on as the deadline approaches.
With Lazio also an interested party, it won’t be a straightforward chase.
