A massive result for Newcastle at the weekend and their first win away in the league since the spring.
But many will see this one a mere fluke unless the overall form and results improve. And, while the squad is looking fitter of late, it’s difficult to imagine that Newcastle won’t invest again this winter in an attempt to consolidate and improve their position.
Latest reports suggest that the main winter signing could be a striker. The Mirror reports:
Premier League clubs including Arsenal and Newcastle have been put on alert after Marseille admitted they might not be able to afford to keep hotshot striker Andre-Pierre Gignac.
“We would like to keep him, but it seems to me utopian to think that he will lower his salary to stay with us.”
He’s been on fire this season with 10 goals in 11 games, making him the top scorer in France right now.
Talk of Arsenal wanting him will naturally concern Newcastle fans. But The Gunners are not always known for their decisiveness in the market and the player may opt for the guaranteed starting berth at Newcastle.
We think that Newcastle need a new spearhead for their attacks and someone who can put the ball in the onion bag in a reliable fashion. This guy is a top notch finisher.
Let’s take a look at the lad in action. Newcastle fans: can you tempt the Frenchman to the club and would he be the man for the job?
