"Some of Newcastle's problems have stemmed from only having one fit striker. Nick Woltemade has impressed since his summer move from Stuttgart, but he has been solely relied upon in the number nine position, given that Yoane Wissa is yet to make his first appearance for his new club. Wissa picked up a knee injury on international duty soon after joining Newcastle, and that has kept him out until now."
"Porto are going good in the Portuguese league right now. They'll be very reluctant to sell Aghehowa and I'm sure the player himself is happy with life at Porto right now. He'll be focusing on doing his best for him and winning his place in the Spain squad for the World Cup. So I don't see any move happening in January."
Newcastle have endured a difficult start to the season and still have time for improvements when the January transfer window reopens. Squad problems stem from having only one fit striker. Nick Woltemade impressed after his summer move from Stuttgart but has been solely relied upon while Yoane Wissa has yet to make his debut due to a knee injury suffered on international duty. Newcastle could pursue another striker in January. Porto's Samu Aghehowa appears unlikely to move mid-season as Porto are reluctant to sell and the 21-year-old is focused on his place at Porto and Spain World Cup selection.
