Loan bid rejected: Newcastle must steal in and sign 55-time international from PL rivals
Something different
Gradel’s unwavering work rate and explosive dribbling speed gives Newcastle something different to the squad, adding an eye for goal that Atsu has struggled to provide as of yet.
Atsu managed just five goals last season, but Gradel has a tally of 67 goals in 274 league and cup matches throughout his career and that tally of one in four could be vital in keeping the Toon afloat.
That eye for goal will give the Toon something different next season.
In other Newcastle transfer news, Benitez should steal in and sign this La Liga striker reportedly earning £100,000 a week.
