Newcastle United will reportedly look to sign 20-year-old Ghanaian striker Edmund Baidoo from Red Bull Salzburg in the summer transfer window.
According to a report by Africa Foot, Edmund Baidoo is the subject of interest from Newcastle Untied. The Magpies are keen on reinforcing their offensive unit by signing a striker in the summer transfer window. So, the 20-year-old Red Bull Salzburg centre-forward has emerged as a target for the Tyneside outfit.
The latest report has revealed that the 2024/25 EFL Cup winners have made their move to sign the African attacker in the summer transfer window by submitting an enquiry. Meanwhile, Red Bull Salzburg will demand around €10 million to part ways with Baidoo, with Newcastle United ready to pay that much to secure his services in the coming months.
Who is Edmund Baidoo?
Edmund Baidoo is the latest promising prospect from his homeland to rise in prominence. The 20-year-old spent his formative years in Ghana and graduated from the youth division at AsanSka FC. However, the youngster has risen in prominence during his spell with Red Bull Salzburg, having joined the Austrian club in August 2024 after spending a few months in Norway.
The Ghanaian striker has been impressive in the 2025/26 season, scoring seven goals and providing five assists in 34 appearances thus far. Meanwhile, Baidoo’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Newcastle United will be among the prospective suitors vying for his signature heading into the summer transfer window.
Premier League adventure beckons?
Newcastle United’s interest in Edmund Baidoo is understandable. The Magpies are scouring the market for a striker heading into the summer transfer window, as Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa have not been impressive in the 2025/26 season thus far. Additionally, recent reports have linked Woltemade with a return to the Bundesliga.
Several candidates, including Dusan Vlahovic, have thus emerged on Newcastle United’s wishlist, with Baidoo also a viable target. The latest report has revealed that the 2024/25 EFL Cup winners have submitted an enquiry to sign the Red Bull Salzburg striker from the Austrian club in the summer transfer window.
Meanwhile, Red Bull Salzburg will demand around €10 million to part ways with Baidoo, with Newcastle United ready to pay that much to secure his services in the coming months. So, it will be interesting to see what the future holds for the 20-year-old Ghanaian striker.
