Newcastle launch huge transfer bid to beat Barcelona to "biggest talent in the world"

Newcastle United have launched a sensational bid for Borussia Dortmund wonderkid Youssoufa Moukoko.

The Magpies have spent heavily over the last year following their takeover by Saudi-based Public Investment Fund. Alexander Isak became the club’s record signing in the summer having arrived from Real Sociedad but injury issues have limited his contributions at St James’ Park.

That could lead to Newcastle investing further in their front-line and they are now apparently targeting Dortmund star Moukoko with a huge contract offer, and hope to beat off competition from Barcelona and Chelsea. As per the Evening Standard, the Magpies are set to offer him a mega-money contract with his current deal with the German giants set to expire this summer.
