Newcastle are tipped to splash the cash in the next few weeks with a striker high on their agenda. They have a number of targets in their sights and will reportedly make a bid for a £25m-rated Goncalo Ramos, who is also being tracked by PSG.
According to The Sun and other outlets, Newcastle is set to submit an opening Goncalo Ramos transfer offer as Eddie Howe targets Benfica’s £25m-rated striker. The striker, 21, burst onto the scene last season with eight goals in 46 games which is hardly prolific. Journalist Pedro Sepulveda claims Benfica are willing to sell Ramos this summer for just £25million.
Is Ramos Good enough, or good enough now?
Yes- lets get him in, we're running out of options
No- Dan can find better, in him we trust
Eddie Howe is on the hunt for a new striker after seeing Hugo Ekitike join Paris Saint-Germain.
Newcastle were also linked with Benjamin Sesko before his move to RB Leipzig was confirmed yesterday which will be another blow to Toon fans and management alike.
Ramos has now forced his way to the top of Howe’s shortlist with three goals in as many games this season However Newcastle will need to be quick as there will be many other suitors looking to attract his signature. The exciting forward is rated as one of Europe’s top attacking prospects, he has an incredible 14 goals in just 18 games for Portugal’s U21s.
He is a formidable size, standing at 6ft 1in while still being mobile, Ramos’ profile fits perfectly with the type of striker Howe wants.
Newcastle are now thought to be preparing a bid for the hitman so as with Sesko, Ekitike et al only time will tell if Dan gets his man.
