Newcastle United set to sign Madueke

Newcastle United's search for a new right winger continues to prove challenging, with reports indicating that Chelsea's Noni Madueke is currently a target with previous links and his reported availability.

The Magpies are reportedly grappling with the premium prices demanded for proven Premier League talent, forcing a re-evaluation of their transfer strategy.

It was previously reported that Chelsea would be open to offers for Madueke, just a year after Newcastle had initially expressed interest in bringing him to St James’ Park.

This sparked speculation that manager Eddie Howe could reignite the pursuit of the number 11, with Caught Offside even reporting that the Magpies had approached Enzo Maresca’s side regarding a potential signing.

Meanwhile, The Athletic has provided an update on Newcastle United’s winger search, stating that the Magpies are "not thinking about making a move for Madueke at this moment in time."

This comes as Manchester United are reportedly swooping in for another Newcastle target, Bryan Mbeumo.

In their search for alternatives to the £29 million-rated attacker, The Athletic indicates that Newcastle have discussed options such as Anthony Elanga, Antoine Semenyo, and Mohammed Kudus.

However, securing these targets also presents difficulties. Nottingham Forest is unwilling to sell Elanga, while Semenyo and Kudus are also expected to command high fees, according to Geordie Boot Boys.
