Newcastle: Samu Aghehowa to replace Alexander Isak?

After a standout season with FC Porto, Samu Aghehowa could become Newcastle United’s next marquee attacking signing if Alexander Isak leaves the club.

Having joined Porto last summer from Atlético de Madrid, Aghehowa (21) quickly made his mark, netting 20 goals in 34 appearances across all competitions—including 13 in the Portuguese Liga and 6 in the Europa League. These impressive stats have not gone unnoticed by Premier League scouts, with Newcastle, Chelsea, and Aston Villa all expressing interest.

The Magpies have yet to submit an official bid, but see the Nigerian striker as the ideal successor to Isak should the Swedish forward be transferred this summer. However, competition is fierce, and FC Porto are not looking to let their star go cheaply: the asking price is set between €60 and €80 million. This is definitely a transfer saga to watch.
