Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United have been linked with Villarreal forward Samuel Chukwueze.
Italian journalist Rudy Galetti has told GiveMeSport that Newcastle United are interested in signing Samuel Chukwueze from Villarreal in the summer transfer window.
Galetti has added that Arsenal, Liverpool and AC Milan are also keen on Chukwueze, who is available for £26 million.
The reporter said: “Chukwueze is on the radar of some Premier League clubs.
“Also, in Serie A, AC Milan are really interested in him. But, the price tag, which is set at around €30m (£26m), is considered a little high for the Italian club.
“Coming back to England – Arsenal, Liverpool, and Newcastle United are on his tracks.”
Should Newcastle United bid for Samuel Chukwueze?
In our opinion, if Newcastle United are genuinely keen on Samuel Chukwueze, then they should make an offer to Villarreal.
Now, of course, £26 million is not really much, but we believe that Newcastle should initially offer £20 million and then take it from there.
Yes, Villarreal could well reject that bid, but at least there would be a scope for negotiations.
Who knows, Newcastle could actually be able to get the forward less than the £26 million asking price.
Chukwueze is a versatile player who can operate on the right of a forward line or as a traditional winger.
