Newcastle United are interested in Manchester City’s James McAtee’s action
Newcastle United was rejected by Brentford attacker Bryan Mbuemo.
The attacker, who scored 20 goals in the Premier League last season, expressed his hope to move to Manchester United this summer, rejecting Newcastle, Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur in the process.
With Cameroonian international attackers tend to move to Old Trafford, Hippies may have to change their transfer strategy.
Newcastle United have been warned of promising 22-year-old midfielder James McAtee, who was told he could leave Etihad this summer, according to the Chronicle.
James McAtee to Newcastle United?
Although Pep Guardiola admired McAtee, the massive talent of the city midfielder limited his chances, prompting the club to consider a offer for the young British.
McAtee is a product of Man City’s respected academy, showing his abilities in the loan spell, especially with Sheffield United, where he gained valuable Premier League experience.
Newcastle’s interest in McAtee emerges because they invest in young, high-potential players to build teams that can compete at the highest level.
However, Hipies currently have good midfield reserves, including Bruno Guimaraes, Sandro Tonali and Joelinton.
This depth means that unless there is a departure, McAtee may face intense competition in a regular match at St. James Park.
Eddie Howe may need a new midfielder
Potential exits for midfielders Joe Willlock and Sean Longstaff may create vacancy for new additions.
McAtee, worth around £20 million, represents a huge investment, but given his age and potential, it could generate long-term gains.
His ability to operate in a centralized and sideways adds tactical flexibility, a property that Newcastle manager Eddie Howe attaches great importance to.
As far as the appearance is concerned, Hipies can get Anthony Gordon to leave the club this summer.
Former Chelsea attacker Tammy Abraham is another player in the club’s radar this summer.
“In any case…” – Newcastle
