Newcastle United are looking to add a new striker and have set sights on Greek teenager Stefanos Tzimas ahead of January.
According to Football Insider, Newcastle United are interested in a move for Stefanos Tzimas ahead of the January window. The on-loan Nurnberg striker has a £15 million price tag placed by parent club PAOK Thessaloniki, with many other Premier League sides like Tottenham and West Ham also looking closely at him ahead of the winter market.
Stefanos Tzimas has been a revelation for Nurnberg this season, as the German side did make the right decision to sign him on loan from PAOK Thessaloniki in the summer. Six goals and a single assist in 12 games have given the striker some prominence among some of the Premier League sides.
A January move is not out of order despite the striker having an agreement with Nurnberg, as this could be a big change in his career. While only 18, the PAOK Thessaloniki striker will cost £15 million should one of the English sides show intent to sign him.
There are some clubs in England keen to sign him ahead of January, including Newcastle United. Eddie Howe wants to be an additional striker to add to the competition for Alexander Isak. The Swedish striker appears to take on the goalscoring burden for the Magpies this term, as the summer signing of William Osula has not made the necessary impact.
Hence, the idea of bringing in a new striker might be on the cards for Howe, as he has also not had Callum Wilson at his disposal for the whole season. Hence, it’s imperative to include a new striker, as West Ham-linked Tzimas could be the gamble the Magpies might take.
Tzimas’s pursuit is not related to Alexander Isak’s future
While there might be a few coming to the conclusion that the pursuit of a new striker could be a hint about Isak’s immediate future, that might not be the case. The Swede is chased by Arsenal ahead of January, and if he does leave, Newcastle United might not put their eggs in the bask of an unproven teenager to replace him.
Hence, the idea of signing the £15 million-rated striker might be associated with wards building for the future and replacing Wilson rather than Isak. Hence, it remains to be seen if the Magpies are set to invest big money in an unproven teenager, although early signs state Tzimas could have a bright future ahead.
