It is not a secret for anyone that Newcastle is on the market for a new right winger, who is a position they wanted to approach for years. Eddie Howe will have a big word to say about who signed, and he has his goal on Johan Bakayoko.
Bakayoko has aroused the interest of a number of clubs across Europe in recent years, and Newcastle is one of them. They identified him as a leading target in January, but an agreement was not concluded at the end due to the concerns of the PSR. But these are now finished for the winners of the Carabao Cup, who should spend big this summer.
Eddie Howe wants Newcastle to sign Johan Bakayoko
And Bakayoko has a considerable chance to join Newcastle this summer, with Pete O’Rourke informing the Football Initiate that Howe is a big fan of the PSV man Eindhoven.
“Bakayoko, I’m sure I would probably be interested in a decision if it was the right offer. He wants to play at the highest level, that Newcastle can offer him with football in the Champions League. With his contract in the last year, he could be much cheaper than potentially of these other players, so he could be a very intelligent signature for Eddie Howe. ”
Bakayoko’s actions are weak at the moment due to a disappointing season of 2024-25, and his PSV contract should also expire in 2026. Consequently, it is designed that it can be acquired at a reduced price, which would be music to Newcastle’s ears.
However, it does not seem likely that a move is made this summer, since Newcastle is materializing in an agreement for Anthony Elanga by Nottingham Forest, who is another player well appreciated by Howe.
