Report: Newcastle United looking to sign ‘amazing’ Chelsea attacker this summer

Reports have claimed that Newcastle United have turned their attention to Chelsea in their quest to bring players in this summer.

The Blues are going to need to make some tough decisions this summer when it comes to players leaving the club, and may need to part ways with some who played key roles last season.

It has frequently been reported that Conor Gallagher is on the chopping block as far as the owners are concerned, although the most recent claims have suggested that they are considering a dramatic turnaround in his case.

There may be others who do not get this luxury though, and considering the club are currently targeting Michael Olise suggests there could be some changes in attack.

One player who could be in danger is Noni Madueke, despite the fact that he played a pivotal part in Chelsea’s turn in form at the end of the season.

Newcastle want Noni Madueke

A performance against Tottenham in particular impressed Mauricio Pochettino, with them coming out and describing him as ‘amazing’.

According to iNews, the youngster is on the radar at Newcastle as they look to potentially replace Miguel Almiron on the right of attack.

Another player currently at Stamford Bridge who is in a similar scenario is Omari Hutchinson, after he returned from his loan move at Ipswich Town that resulted in promotion.

Despite impressing greatly in the division below last season, it is already believed that the club are looking to cash in on a player they actually brought in on a free transfer.

Madueke will be hoping he did enough in his first full season at the club to convince those higher up that he has a part to play next summer, however it is certainly believed that the priority for the Blues in this window is to bring in Olise from Crystal Palace.
