The summer transfer window is already buzzing, and Newcastle United are firmly in the thick of it.
With key areas needing reinforcements, especially in the final third, the club is assessing high-impact additions who can instantly elevate Eddie Howe’s attack.
After a mixed season that fell short of Champions League qualification, there’s no room for half-measures. This window has to be calculated, bold, and perhaps most importantly ambitious.
Newcastle’s recruitment strategy is clear: proven Premier League talent with versatility and flair.
While Financial Fair Play limitations are still present, there’s growing confidence that strategic sales and smart structuring could pave the way for at least one marquee signing.
While several names have been floated behind the scenes, club insiders suggest the focus is now on unlocking creative quality through the middle, a player who can not only score but also dictate tempo and link the forward line.
One such target is currently being tracked by multiple Premier League clubs, with competition already heating up.
Newcastle United eye £70m Premier League forward as rivals circle
Tottenham are said to be keen but struggling with the £70m price tag. Nottingham Forest have entered the picture too, hopeful of luring the player with European football.
Even Liverpool are watching closely, though no formal contact has been made.
According to CaughtOffside, Newcastle, however, are playing a quieter game, monitoring closely, keeping their cards close to their chest, and waiting for the right moment to pounce. That player? Eberechi Eze.
The Crystal Palace star has just delivered one of the most iconic moments in the club’s history, scoring the winning goal in their shock FA Cup final triumph over Manchester City.
That moment alone would’ve turned heads but for those at St James’ Park, it merely reaffirmed what they already knew.
Eberechi Eze ticks every box Newcastle are looking for Premier League experience, flair, intelligence on the ball, and the confidence to step up in big moments.
With a £70m release clause in place, Palace won’t let him go easily. But if Newcastle are serious about breaking into the top four again, this is the kind of deal that makes a statement.
