“Newcastle’s Jaw-Dropping £40M Plot to Snag ‘Unbelievable’ Ex-Arsenal Superstar in Sensational Transfer Heist!”

After failing to secure the signing of Hugo Ekitike, Newcastle United are now reportedly preparing a new move to land a prolific 27-goal striker for Eddie Howe ahead of the new season.

Newcastle Pursuing Alternatives to Ekitike

Despite managing to bring in Anthony Elanga, it’s been a frustrating transfer window for Newcastle.

The Magpies initially pursued Joao Pedro and Bryan Mbeumo, but both players ended up signing for Chelsea and Manchester United, respectively.

They then turned their attention to Hugo Ekitike, and early indications were promising. Newcastle submitted an initial offer and were believed to be preparing a second bid.

However, Liverpool intervened at the last minute and secured the Frenchman’s signature, leaving the Magpies scrambling once again.

Now, Newcastle have reportedly set their sights on Yoane Wissa of Brentford. The striker has departed Brentford’s pre-season tour, amid rising speculation that both Newcastle and Tottenham Hotspur are competing for his signature. Reports claim Newcastle have submitted an opening bid.

With Tottenham also in the race, Newcastle are cautious about missing out on another key target—a recurring theme in what has become a summer of missed opportunities.

As a result, they are exploring additional options beyond Wissa.

Other potential signings on their radar include RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko and Liverpool forward Darwin Nunez.

Landing Nunez, in particular, would be a symbolic move, offering Newcastle a chance to hit back at Liverpool following the Ekitike saga.

However, Nunez has yet to fully flourish in the Premier League, and there’s no certainty he would hit top form under Howe.

That brings Newcastle to an exciting alternative in Ligue 1.

Newcastle Eyeing Mika Biereth in £40m Deal

As per Caught Offside, Newcastle are now plotting a £40 million swoop for AS Monaco striker Mika Biereth.

The 22-year-old forward enjoyed a breakout campaign last season, scoring 27 goals across all competitions—starting with SK Sturm Graz in Austria before making a mid-season switch to Monaco.

His transition to Ligue 1 was seamless, as he bagged 13 goals in just 16 appearances for the French side, quickly drawing attention from top clubs.

Just six months after arriving in Monaco, the Danish forward could already be heading back to England.

Scout Jacek Kulig has described Biereth as “outrageous” in terms of talent.

Though still relatively unknown among general Premier League audiences, he is a familiar name to Arsenal and Fulham fans.

Biereth began his youth career at Fulham before joining Arsenal’s Hale End academy, but limited first-team chances led him to seek success elsewhere.

Now thriving on the continent, Biereth may be set for a Premier League return—with Newcastle looking to bring his goal-scoring prowess to St James’ Park.
