Newcastle United were able to aim for Aston Villa striker Ollie Watkins during the summer transfer.
Alexander Isaac is linked to a move away from the club, and Newcastle aims to bring quality alternatives. They are linked to Benjamin Sesco and Yorn Wissa. It would be interesting to see if one of the two players can sign this summer.
Both players have done very well at their respective clubs and could prove to be an exceptional acquisition. Isaac is the best striker in the Premier League and Newcastle needs to replace him properly. The player is on Liverpool’s radar. Liverpool has filed an offer to the player of about £110 million. Newcastle has already rejected the first offer from the Premier League champions, and they have postponed it at a fee of around £150 million.
According to daily emails, Newcastle will turn his attention to Watkins when encouraged. The 29-year-old is certainly one of the best offensive players in the league, and he could prove to be a great addition. Aside from his ability to find the back of the net, he also helps his team creatively. He is a hardworking player and supports defensively.
Watkins could be the ideal attacker for Newcastle if he loses Isaac. The 29-year-old is a complete advancement and he is at the peak of his career. He has established himself as a reliable performer in the Premier League and was able to make an immediate impact at Newcastle. They will compete in the UEFA Champions League next season, with quality players at their disposal. A person like Watkins might have an ideal fit.
