Newcastle have moved ahead of West Ham in the race for a Serie A attacking midfielder, according to reports.
The Magpies are looking at potential targets to spend their newly-found riches on. They also need talented stars to help push them away from the relegation zone.
Newcastle, currently managed by interim boss Graeme Jones, sit 19th in the Premier League table. They have failed to win after their first ten matches of the campaign.
Their most recent outing ended in a 3-0 defeat to Chelsea. Reece James scored two good goals as Thomas Tuchel’s side eased to victory at St James’ Park.
Pundits, including those on BBC Match of the Day, pointed out Newcastle’s lack of creativity in attacking areas during the loss. They rarely managed to find forwards Allan Saint-Maximin or Callum Wilson with clever through balls.
