Newcastle turn to Samu Aghehowa - David Ornstein

Newcastle's United hunt for two new strikers continues.

A number of Premier League links have emerged this week, with £95m duo Nicolas Jackson and Yoane Wissa two of several options.

However, an exciting new link from perhaps the most reliable reporter in the business has emerged on Friday lunchtime from David Ornstein.

Writing for The Athletic, Ornstein reveals that Newcastle are now considering a formal move for Porto powerhouse Samu Aghehowa.

Newcastle are yet to make an official approach for the 21-year-old and there is 'no guarantee' that he will arrive at St James' Park in a line to manage expectations.

However, he is well liked on Tyneside and part of a small shortlist of strikers thought to be under serious consideration now a £70m bid for Benjamin Sesko ended with the striker heading to Man Utd instead.

Samu is a 6ft 4" Spanish international who produced an outstanding debut season for Porto over the 2024/25 campaign, bagging 27 goals in 45 appearances.

Ornstein also reports that Wolves'Jorgen Strand Larsen is also an option, alongside Wissa, but the Midlands club consider their star striker 'not for sale.'
