Croatian prodigy Dion Drena Beljo has flirted with the possibility of joining Newcastle United. The 20-year-old is turning heads in his native country for NK Osijek, bagging eight goals already this season.
At 6ft 5in, comparisons have already been made to Manchester City superstar Erling Haaland. Dreno Beljo has also represented Croatia at under-18, under-19 and under-21 levels.
Strengthening the youth academy is one of sporting director Dan Ashworth’s key priorities, with several low-key arrivals joining in the summer. The pick of the bunch will be Australian international Garang Kuol when he officially joins the Magpies in January.
