With the transfer of Hugo Ekitike still up in the air, Newcastle United are looking around for alternatives when it comes to finding a young, new striker.
The latest name to be added to a long list of reported targets is that of Arnaud Kalimuendo, currently at Paris Saint-Germain.
The forward spent the last two season on loan at RC Lens, where he impressed despite his young age, which clearly caught the eye of Newcastle.
We say this because Media Foot in France claim as an exclusive that the Magpies have already ‘taken a step’ towards getting a transfer sorted.
It’s said that Newcastle have ‘handed a mandate to the Stellar agency’ for the transfer of the striker, who is currently managed by his family.
With this move, things could ‘accelerate quickly’, with perhaps a need for them to, as both Leeds and Leicester are also reportedly chasing him.
