Newcastle are doing bad in front of goal, managing to average just one per game since returning to the Premier League.
That poor form has seen them lose 4 games on the bounce of recent, but landing a capable goalscorer come January could get the Magpies back up in their pursuit of a top-half-of-the-table finish.
If reports making the rounds are to be believed, then Newcastle could be on their way to sealing a campaign-changing signing.
The Toons have eyes on Besiktas striker Cenk Tosun and are said to be willing to break the bank for his signature.
Newcastle are ready to up their offer and table £20million for the Turkish international ahead of the January transfer window.
It’s believed the amount can break the resolve of the Super Lig outfits who don’t appear keen on letting Tosun go halfway through the season.
The 26-year-old striker has notched 4 goals and 2 Champions League assist this term, while he has 6 goals and an assist in the league.
Tosun bagged 20 league goals last term and seems like a signing that can help turn Newcastle’s fortunes around during the concluding half of what is slowly becoming an underwhelming campaign.
