Benitez’s reported No1 target: Newcastle must beat Huddersfield to £10m speed machine
Versatility in final third
Able to play anywhere in the final third, Coco is naturally a left winger but being able to play on the opposite flank, in the number 10 role and even up front is key.
Following the sale of Daryl Murphy and doubts surrounding the future of Aleksander Mitrovic, Dwight Gayle needs cover and Coco’s versatility will allow him to be that man.
The Sun also claims that Coco can be used as a full-back and with doubts over the quality of Wales international Paul Dummett, the winger could be used in defence.
In other Newcastle transfer news, the Toon could also look to give Gayle cover with this reportedly available West Ham striker.
