Eddie Howe makes no apologies for Newcastle’s no-nonsense approach to winning

Newcastle are ready to make a real statement in the January transfer window as they reportedly prepare an offer for Juventus winger Federico Chiesa. Jurgen Klopp is said to be a keen admirer of the player and would love to have him at Liverpool but it is Newcastle who lead the race for his signature.

The Magpies enquired about Chiesa’s availability in the summer, however, a move never materialised. Now, they are set to go back in for him in the new year. But he won’t come cheap.

Juventus want a fee in the region of £52million (60m euros) for the 26-year-old, who only joined the Italian giants on a permanent deal last season after spending two campaigns on loan at the Allianz Arena from Fiorentina.

 

According to Tutto Juve, Newcastle are willing to match Juventus’ asking price as they look to strengthen their forward line to bolster their chances in the Champions League. The report goes on to claim that Arsenal and Chelsea are also closely monitoring the player.
