Habib Diallo has been linked to Newcastle United and a host of their Premier League rivals on the back of a sensational season with Strasbourg. The Senegal international netted 20 goals in Ligue 1 last season, with recent reports suggesting Brentford were considering a £15 million move for the striker to cover for Ivan Toney's absence.
Newcastle are set to complete the blockbuster transfer of AC Milan midfielder Sandro Tonali in the coming days. The Italy international has already agreed terms on a six-year contract at St James' Park, and attention will now turn to other areas of the pitch.
Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson both finished the season in fine form, with the latter ending as Newcastle's top scorer with his career-best return of 18 Premier League goals. However, Eddie Howe is said to be open to the prospect of bringing in a third striker to add depth to the squad due to the upcoming challenge and demands posed by the Champions League.
