Newcastle United have adjusted their transfer strategy after failing to secure RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko, who opted for Manchester United. Quickly pivoting, the club is now targeting Premier League players Ollie Watkins and Yoane Wissa to bolster their attacking options. The recruitment team has long identified these forwards as viable options. Their urgency has increased due to several missed targets and the potential departure of Alexander Isak, who is under consideration by Liverpool. Pursuing both Watkins and Wissa could require over 100 million, which could be manageable if funds from Isak's sale materialize.
Newcastle United are accelerating efforts to bring in Ollie Watkins and Yoane Wissa following the loss of RB Leipzig striker Benjamin Sesko to Manchester United.
The addition of proven Premier League firepower is a priority for Eddie Howe, especially after missing out on several key targets and potential loss of Alexander Isak.
Targeting both Watkins and Wissa was part of Newcastle's strategy even prior to pursuing Sesko, indicating a long-standing interest in these players.
A double transfer for Watkins and Wissa could exceed 100 million, a feasible investment if Newcastle sells Alexander Isak to Liverpool.
