Newcastle United are reportedly stepping up their efforts in the transfer market, with several high-profile names linked to the Magpies. Eddie Howe is keen to strengthen his squad ahead of the upcoming Premier League season, and the club appears to be targeting both defensive and attacking reinforcements.
Isak on Newcastle's Radar Again
Alexander Isak, the Swedish striker currently at Real Sociedad, has re-emerged as a potential target for Newcastle. The 23-year-old forward was previously linked with a move to St James' Park last summer, but a deal failed to materialise. With Callum Wilson's injury concerns and Chris Wood's departure, Newcastle may revive their interest in the prolific goalscorer.
Defensive Reinforcements: Keane in the Frame
At the back, Everton's Michael Keane has been identified as a potential solution to Newcastle's defensive needs. The 30-year-old centre-back could provide valuable Premier League experience and depth to Howe's backline. With Everton's financial difficulties well-documented, the Toffees may be forced to consider offers for their England international.
Scott Wright: The Surprise Target
In a more surprising development, Rangers winger Scott Wright has reportedly caught Newcastle's attention. The 25-year-old Scottish international has impressed in the Scottish Premiership and could offer an affordable option to add width to Newcastle's attacking options.
What This Means for Newcastle
These potential signings demonstrate Newcastle's ambition to build a squad capable of competing on multiple fronts. While the club's Saudi-backed owners have shown restraint in their spending so far, these moves suggest a careful but determined approach to squad building.
With Champions League football on the horizon, Newcastle will need both quality and depth to navigate what promises to be a challenging season. The coming weeks will reveal whether these transfer rumours materialise into concrete bids.
