Reported wages of £100k a week: Why Newcastle must swoop in to steal proven PL goal machine
Off to Lyon?
French football news website Foot Mercato claim the Toon are attempting to offload Aleksander Mitrovic to French giants Lyon, in a deal worth £16million.
With the former Anderlecht striker gone and Daryl Murphy unlikely to get a sniff which could also see him depart, the Toon are left with just Dwight Gayle.
Bringing Negredo to the north east would hugely improve the Toon squad, but it could also provide much needed cover.
In other Newcastle news, this 22-year-old winger is on the verge of securing a deal to the club.
