SHOCKING BOMBSHELL: Newcastle DESPERATELY BEGGING to Snatch Goal-Scoring BEAST Who HUMILIATED Defenses with DOUBLE STRIKE RIGHT UNDER Eddie Howe’s NOSE – You Won’t Believe Who’s About to Get DUMPED!
Newcastle United could return to the market for Brentford striker Igor Thiago in 2026 despite signing two forwards last summer.
There has been a major overhaul in Newcastle United’s attack this season.
Alexander Isak forced through a move to Liverpool, while Callum Wilson departed on a free transfer to West Ham United.
In response, Newcastle brought in Nick Woltemade from Stuttgart in a big-money deal and later added Yoane Wissa from Brentford.
However, questions are already being raised over Woltemade’s suitability despite his decent goal return, and Wissa is yet to make his debut due to injury concerns.
Newcastle eyeing Brentford’s Igor Thiago
Newcastle could once again dip into the striker market in 2026, particularly with Woltemade appearing more comfortable in a slightly deeper role.
Reports from Brazil’s Trivela claim that the Magpies have shown interest in Brentford forward Igor Thiago and have already made enquiries about a potential move.
Tottenham Hotspur are also said to be monitoring the 24-year-old.
Thiago has been in fine form this season, scoring eight goals in 11 Premier League appearances.
He has stepped up impressively since Wissa’s departure to Newcastle, though he could end up following the same path to Tyneside.
Eddie Howe reportedly took note after Thiago netted twice in Brentford’s 3-1 win over Newcastle last weekend and is believed to be keen on the striker.
William Osula’s future could determine Newcastle’s next move
Any move for Thiago may depend heavily on the future of William Osula.
Brentford are expected to demand a huge fee for Thiago, mirroring their approach with Wissa.
Meanwhile, Eintracht Frankfurt continue to pursue Osula after narrowly missing out on signing him during the summer deadline day.
Osula has impressed Howe this season, and Newcastle are unlikely to sanction his departure in January.
Therefore, a new striker arrival seems improbable in the winter window.
Thiago remains a player to watch for next summer, but much will depend on how the Osula situation develops in the months ahead.
