Benitez’s reported No1 target: Newcastle must beat Huddersfield to £10m speed machine
Advantage over rivals
Luring Coco to St. James’ Park would not only see the Toon sign a winger that is proven in the top tier of French football, but see fellow relegation candidates Huddersfield miss out.
The fleet-footed winger would shine in the black and white stripes of Newcastle but with the Terriers also interested, Newcastle would benefit two-fold.
Signing Guingamp’s number 24 would force Huddersfield to watch on and rue their mistake in not signing Coco if he moved to the Toon, as he plays an integral part in Newcastle’s relegation scrap.
