Both in need of strikers after selling (or letting go of) most of their attack this summer, West Ham and Newcastle United have already partly addressed the situation by splashing on big signings.
The Hammers spent close to £40m on Eintracht Frankfurt’s Sebastien Haller, while the Magpies recently secured the services of Hoffenheim’s Joelinton for a similar fee.
However, strength in depth is important in the Premier League, with Moussa Marega targeted by the pair to help alleviate the workload of their new stars.
That’s as far as the detail goes, but it’s expected for this story to develop over the next few days, and by the tone of the French website’s writing, a transfer to the Premier League could be a matter of ‘when’ and not ‘if’ for Marega.
The 28-year-old has scored 45 goals in 100 appearances for FC Porto in his career, as well as assisting teammates 19 times.
