Newcastle’s need for second striker clearpublished at 10:14 British Summer Time

Newcastle United have already broken their transfer record
to sign striker Nick Woltemade.
But the club desperately need another centre-forward to
help share the burden on the new arrival, who has never played outside of
Germany.
It has, therefore, been far from a coincidence that Newcastle have targeted a goalscorer with Premier League experience.
Although Newcastle have had multiple bids rejected by
Brentford this summer, it is rather telling that they have not given up on Yoane
Wissa.
After all, no one scored more non-penalty goals (19) in the
top-flight last season.
Wissa’s instincts in the box as well as his fitness record
and ability to plug in make him an attractive proposition for Newcastle, who
only had one player hit double figures last season.
That man was, of course, Alexander Isak, who is set to
complete a British-record transfer to Liverpool.
