Newcastle set their sights on purchasing Chukwueze during the summer transfer window

ENGLISH Premier League giants Newcastle United are planning to secure the services of Super Eagles winger Samuel Chukwueze during the summer transfer window as part of a rebuilding plan to equip them for the Uefa Champions league next season.

Newcastle have had a very impressive 2022/23 campaign and are currently sitting third in the Premier League table. Certain to play in the Uefa Champions League next season, Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said maintaining the team’s harmony and work ethic is crucial as they aim to avoid disrupting the delicate equilibrium that has contributed to their success thus far.

With the impending departure of talented forward Allan Saint-Maximin, it becomes imperative to find a suitable replacement. According to reports from Spanish online portal Estadio Deportivo, Newcastle has expressed interest in purchasing Chukwueze from Villarreal as a potential candidate to fill Saint-Maximin’s boots.

Chukwueze, known for his electrifying pace, left a lasting impression earlier this season when he tormented Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid, netting a memorable brace in Villarreal’s 3-2 victory win. Similar to Alexander Isak, Chukwueze possesses the ability to captivate spectators with his dazzling displays while maintaining an unwavering commitment to hard work.

He has established himself as a veteran of the Spanish top flight, amassing over 200 appearances and contributing six goals and five assists in 34 La Liga matches this season. With Chukwueze’s contract set to expire in a year, Villarreal may be compelled to offload him at a bargain price, presenting an enticing opportunity for Newcastle to secure his services.
