Newcastle are now very interested in the £21m “successful” striker

Newcastle United they are now very interested in signing the “successful” £21million striker, and are reportedly among the favorites to win the race for his signature.

Doubts about the future of Aleksandar Isak

Before Saturday’s 4-1 defeat at home to Bournemouth, Alexander Isak scored in eight Premier League games in rotation, so it’s no wonder that the striker began to attract the attention of some of the best European clubs.

Arsenal is one of the English clubs competing for Isaac’s signaturewith Chelsea also among potential suitorsbut the Magpies remain in a strong negotiating position, given that he is a Swedish international contracted until the summer of 2028.

However, it may still be difficult to keep hold of the striker this summer, and Eddie Howe he may also be tasked with signing a long-term replacement for fellow striker Callum Wilson, who has struggled with injuries this season.

One of the attackers Newcastle are looking at FC Nürnberg’s Stefanos Tzimasand Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg recently revealed they are keeping a close eye on the 19-year-old.

Now it has come to new update on the Magpies’ pursuit of Tzimasand BILD state that they have a 35% chance of signing the striker in the summer (via Sport Witness).

Howe’s side are said to be very interested in signing the striker and an asking price of €25m (£21m) will not be a problem as they will have plenty of money to spend.

Newcastle are reportedly second favorites to sign the starlet, at least from the English clubs, and he is very likely to be available this summer, as FC Nürnberg plan to sign him for a fee of €18m (£15m), before selling him on immediately for profit.

Tzimas shows signs of great promise

It’s fair to say that FC Nürnberg manager Joti Chatzialexiou is pleased with the youngster’s development this season, saying: “He’s made tremendous progress over the past few weeks. We’ve had him on our radar for a long time and we’re thrilled that he’s doing so well now.”

The Thessaloniki-born striker made a great start to life in the 2nd Bundesliga, picking up eight goals and two assists in his first 14 games, so it’s no wonder that some of the European clubs have been alerted to his availability.

However, the PAOK loanee is still in the infancy of his career and has yet to prove himself over a longer period of time, not even in the top league.

As such, Newcastle should continue to monitor Tzimas’ development between now and the end of the season to ensure that he definitely has what it takes to make the step up to one of the Premier League’s top teams.
