Newcastle United are preparing a major double striker signing as manager Eddie Howe looks to bolster his attacking options ahead of the new season. The Magpies are reportedly closing in on a deal for Alexander Isak while maintaining strong interest in Paris Saint-Germain's Hugo Ekitike.
Newcastle's Ambitious Transfer Plans
According to sources close to the club, Newcastle have made significant progress in negotiations for Alexander Isak, with the Swedish international seen as a perfect fit for Howe's system. The 24-year-old has impressed with his technical ability and goal-scoring record in recent seasons.
Competition from Liverpool
Liverpool are also monitoring the situation, with Jurgen Klopp known to be an admirer of both forwards. However, Newcastle's financial backing and the promise of regular first-team football at St James' Park could give them the edge in the transfer battle.
Ekitike's Potential Return to England
French striker Hugo Ekitike, who spent last season on loan at PSG, is another key target for the Tyneside club. The 22-year-old previously attracted Premier League interest during his time at Reims and could be available for transfer as PSG look to streamline their squad.
Newcastle's recruitment team have been working tirelessly to secure both deals, with Howe keen to add more firepower to his squad following last season's European campaign. The potential arrival of two high-profile forwards would signal the club's ambition to challenge for top honours.
