Newcastle United's clever transfer policy seems set to continue with the club targeting a young Bundesliga star this summer.
Manager Eddie Howe is being hailed for his work thus far in the North East, leading the club to a League Cup final last season and perhaps more critically, a top four finish. It means next season represents a return to the Champions League for the Magpies for the first time since the 2002/03 campaign.
Howe is being widely tipped to spend big this summer as the club looked to build on their promising campaign. It's a notion they've so far resisted since the 2021 takeover from the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund, despite the record signing of Alexander Isak for £63million last summer.
