Brentford hopes to deposit the maximum value of Starforward, a £60 million rated Brian Mbeumo, to the bank this summer. That means Newcastle United still wants to pip Manchester United into his signature.
However, Mbeumo has intimate his desire to sign Old Trafford, so Eddie Howe and his transfer officers need to look towards alternative targets.
I’ve already missed Matthews Kuña tied up by Man United, so I certainly need a bounceback. And Newcastle may be centered around a perfect new forward.
Newcastle is lined up in a new front
The Tynesiders are relieved to hear that Athletic David Ornstein will leave the club this summer, declaring “no chance,” but the need for more firepower is clear.
So, according to Sky Sports, Rob Dorsett, Joa Pedro of Brighton & Hove Albion is on the Newcastle list, and Howe in particular is desperate to bring in such an offensive profile.
The 24-year-old is set to leave AMEX this summer, amidst the Premier League and European worshipers. Brighton will do business once the valuation of 700 million euros (£59 million) is met.
Why Joanne Pedro is the best place to go for Newcastle
Pedro attacks from the Central Birth, and Mbeumo is mostly on the right front, but can fill the hole in St. James Park.
Pedro, who joined Watford’s shy Brighton for just £30 million in June 2023, scored 30 goals and provided 10 assists in 70 appearances in all competitions.
In his two years on the South Coast, the former Hornets star changed 19 goals in the Premier League, but lost another 17 big opportunities, according to Sofa Scole.
Furthermore, Pedro drifts left before arcing inside, suggesting that Hau can take advantage of the Brazilians across the center and wide berth, maximizing his dynamic and skilled approach and indeed maximize his suitability in Newcastle.

According to FBREF, he also ranked top 1% of assists, top 17% of passes and top 12% of progressive passes this season in the top 1% of Premier League forwards. Such qualities have attracted data-driven sites to the two forwards mentioned above.
The action of creating a shot is a game that leads to a shot. These include moments like passing, take-on, fouls and more.
Yes, the creativity and ball-playing skills of the 50k-a-week star aren’t different to those of the dynamic Mbeumo and Cunha, whose exploits with Wolverhampton Wanderers have been led to describe journalist Nathan Juddah as “Maverick” and “Flawed Genius.”
In fact, Pedro’s countryman created 13 big opportunities on the English Top Flight, and only finished in 8th place due to the big chance United created the term, so you can see why Howe is asking for such a profile.
Furthermore, his discussed clinical quality coincides with Mbemo’s clinical quality, which was praised by athletic Jay Harris as “one of the best wingers in the Premier League” after scoring 20 top flight goals a year.
A true conglomerate in Newcastle’s desired profile, the player is perfect for Newcastle, supporting Isaac and, as pointed out by Bundesliga commentator Kevin Hatchard, he may just run to the ground.
