Eddie Howe is pushing for a “transformational signing” as Newcastle United prepare record buy Alexander Isak for a January return.
The Newcastle boss is keen to bolster the Toon from a position of strength and confirmed he has been studying targets. Sweden international Isak has not played since September after scoring three goals in four games, after suffering a leg muscle injury. Howe admits the £55million star might be feeling guilty over his absence, but says he hopes to be ready to make an impact in January.
That would lessen the need to spend, but Howe said: "We would love another transfer like (Bruno Guimaraes) because I thought it was transformational for the team and for the group. They are difficult players to find but that's our job to try and find them and we will endeavour to do that.
