Newcastle reportedly preparing a £10.5million bid for prolific striker

Newcastle United are preparing a bid of around £10.5million for Besiktas’ Cenk Tosun in the January transfer window, according to Turkish Football.

Tosun has been heavily linked with a move to Newcastle this season, with many papers repeatedly reporting stories about the interest from the Magpies for the Turkish striker.

Although fans were excited with the prospect of landing a top quality striker, it was yet to be confirmed as to whether Newcastle would be prepared to pay the big money that Besiktas were demanding for one of their top performers.

This time around though, Newcastle fans will not get disappointed as it looks like the Magpies will be placing a bid of around £10.5million for the Turkish international.

However, it will be interesting to see if the offer will be enough to tempt Besiktas into selling one of their prized assets whom they value at a much higher price.
