Newcastle United legend Alan Shearer has sent fans into a frenzy by revealing his dream striker signings for the Magpies. The Premier League's all-time top scorer shared his insights on who could bolster Eddie Howe's attacking options next season.
Shearer's Top Targets
The former England captain highlighted several high-profile names that could take Newcastle to the next level:
- Ivan Toney - The Brentford star and former Newcastle player
- Victor Osimhen - Napoli's prolific Nigerian striker
- Alexander Isak - Current Newcastle forward who Shearer believes can develop further
Why These Signings Matter
Shearer emphasised that Newcastle need "20-25 goal a season" strikers to compete at the highest level. His comments come as the club prepares for another ambitious summer transfer window under Saudi ownership.
The football pundit particularly praised Isak's potential, stating: "He's got all the attributes to be a top-class striker." However, Shearer believes adding competition would push the Swedish international to new heights.
Fan Reactions
Newcastle supporters have flooded social media with excitement following Shearer's revelations. Many see his endorsement as a significant boost to the club's transfer prospects.
With Champions League football potentially returning to St James' Park, the Magpies could be an attractive destination for top attacking talent this summer.
