Newcastle United are interested in signing 23-year-old Danish attacker Jesper Lindstrom from Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt.
According to a report from Bild, Newcastle United are plotting a summer move for 23-year-old Danish attacker Jesper Lindstrom, who has had an impressive campaign with Bundesliga club Eintracht Frankfurt. The player will cost around €35-40 million this summer.
Lindstrom picked up nine goals and four assists across all competitions, and he has established himself as one of the most promising young talents in the Bundesliga. It is no surprise that his performances have caught the attention of the Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United.
Newcastle United are in need of attacking reinforcements this summer, and the Eintracht Frankfurt star could prove to be a quality acquisition. The Magpies struggled to score goals consistently and could certainly use someone like Lindstrom.
The 23-year-old will help create goalscoring opportunities for his teammates and get on the score sheet as well. Furthermore, star winger Allan Saint-Maximin was quite inconsistent last season. So Eddie Howe needs to bring in more options this summer. More competition for places will help the players improve.
The opportunity to play for a UEFA Champions League club will be an attractive proposition for the talented prospect, and he is likely to be tempted if Newcastle United come calling. For now, the Tyneside outfit have express their interest in him.
The Magpies have the finances to get the deal done, and the player is reportedly valued at around €35-40 million. The asking price seems reasonable for a player of his potential, and he could easily justify the outlay in the coming season.
Newcastle United have qualified for the Champions League, and they need a deeper squad to do well across multiple competitions. They will be up against top-class defences on a weekly basis. So they need quality attackers to break them down.
Lindstrom has the quality to succeed in the Premier League. And working under a manager like Howe could help him improve further. The 23-year-old will add pace, unpredictability and creativity in the final third. He is also versatile enough to operate on either flank, and he could be a long-term asset for the club.
Newcastle United have already agreed a big-money move for Sandro Tonali to improve their midfield options. It seems that they are now keen on improving their attack before the summer transfer window closes.
