With news circulating that Newcastle United are not interested in signing loanee Islam Slimani on a permanent basis and manager Rafael Benitez stating that they need to break their 13-year-old transfer record if they are to sign a striker to hit double figures speculation is rife about who they are signing. Ayoze Perez ended the Premier League season as the club’s top goal scorer with just eight league goals , hence; it’s evident that Newcastle need more firepower upfront. However, who will be the new main man to score the goals next season?

The 24-year-old has excelled since leaving Spain. The former Real Madrid man has moved to France and not looked back since the first game of the season. Having found the net 18 times in Ligue 1 this season, he has attracted plenty of attention from the rest of Europe.
Having only moved last summer for €8 million it will come as no surprise that he would move for a fee nowhere near that now.
