Having spent heavily in the summer, Newcastle United are reaping the benefits of their investments, as they currently sit fourth in the Premier League.
Eddie Howe has done an astounding job at turning things around at St James’ Park since taking over, with some good signings, such as Kieran Trippier and Bruno Guimaraes, among others, proving their worth on the pitch.
However, we all know Newcastle aren’t going to rest on their laurels, which is why many are expecting them to spend a bit more in January to see if they can confirm this good form in the long run.
A new arrival in the creative department could go a long way, which is why someone like Nabil Fékir could do a job.
According to Fichajes, Newcastle are ‘preparing a €45m offer’ to convince the Frenchman to ‘try his luck’ in the Premier League ‘after trying unsuccessfully’ in the summer.
While a move in January seems difficult right now, they add the player, despite recently renewing, ‘does not rule out accepting a change of scenery’ in the summer.
On top of that, no one at Real Betis is ‘non-transferable’, meaning they could be willing to sell him if the right bid is made, especially since Fékir, with Newcastle’s money, could become ‘the most expensive sale in the history of the club’.
Something to keep an eye on.
