Newcastle United have been linked with a move for 19-year-old Brazilian attacking sensation Rayan Vitor Simplicio Rocha from Vasco da Gama.
According to a report by ESPN Brasil, Newcastle United are prepared to walk away from the move for Rayan Vitor Simplicio Rocha. The teenage sensation amassed 21 goal contributions this season, and there is no doubt that he is a talented player with a lot of potential.
However, Newcastle United have abandoned their pursuit of the player. They need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and it will be interesting to see if they look at other options now. Newcastle United have done well to sign a couple of quality strikers in the summer, but they need more depth on the flanks as well.
Signing a dynamic attacker who can operate anywhere across the front three would be ideal for them. Newcastle United are competing in the UEFA Champions League, and they need a deeper squad with more options if they want to do well in multiple tournaments.
Newcastle United need attacking depth
Newcastle United will be hoping to secure their place in this Champions League for the upcoming campaign as well. They will also look to do well in the domestic competitions. They should look to improve the squad during the January transfer window.
Signing a quality attacker next month should be one of their priorities. It will be interesting to see if they decide to move for other players after walking away from the deal to sign Rayan. Meanwhile, the Brazilian has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months, and it will be interesting to see if any other high-profile club sign him.
The teenage sensation is a promising player with a bright future, and he could develop into a quality Premier League attacker with the right guidance. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops over the next few weeks.
Rayan will be hoping to compete at the highest level in future and moving to the Premier League would be ideal for him. For now, he should focus on his development and continue to improve with regular game time in Brazil.
