After an incredible run of form this year, it does feel like Newcastle United are going to remain in the Premier League. That was not always believed to be the case though and not too long ago, it had looked like The Magpies were destined for relegation. Thus, Eddie Howe and the players deserve tremendous credit, as do the club hierarchy for making moves in January that have come in and had an impact.

One area that could be a worry for Newcastle United right now is striker. The club do not have a consistent goalscorer up top.

Callum Wilson is leading the scoring charts for Newcastle United and even he has just 6 goals to his name this season. On the other hand, Chris Wood has had a difficult time finding the back of the net since his arrival.

Thus, it would not be a big surprise to see the club make a move for a free-scoring striker in the summer.

Victor Osimhen is one of the most exciting young strikers in the world right now and he is one of the primary reasons why Napoli are competing for the Serie A title this season.

It is not just his goalscoring ability that Osimhen brings to the pitch but several other attributes as well, and he has the potential to develop into a complete striker in the near future.

His goalscoring numbers might not be as impressive as the other two on this list but when it comes to overall potential, he might be the best of the three. Napoli are believed to rate him at a transfer fee around €100 million.

According to stats from Transfermarkt, he has scored 15 goals in 25 appearances this season.
