Newcastle ‘Leading Race’ to Sign ‘Insane’ Striker in Bargain Deal

Newcastle are reportedly among the clubs leading the race for Besiktas’ talent Semih Kilicsoy, according to Caught Offside.

The 19-year-old has climbed up the ranks of his side’s youth academy, and is now a regular in the first-team, having made 37 appearances in all competitions. With a further four cups for the Turkish national team, Kilicsoy has not been short of suitors in Europe thanks to his performances.

The Magpies are eager to bolster their forward options, having lost Miguel Almiron to Atlanta United in the January transfer window, though they are expected to face stern competition in their pursuit of Kilicsoy.

As per the report from Caught Offside, Newcastle are well within the race to land Kilicsoy this summer, and a fee of around €20 million (£17 million) should be sufficient to convince Besiktas into a sale.

Aston Villa previously eyed a move for Kilicsoy last summer, and even had a bid in the region of €15 million (£13 million) rejected by his Turkish employers. Their interest is yet to cool though, as is the case for Premier League outfits Fulham, Everton and Nottingham Forest, who are also keen on landing the player.
