Newcastle United want to sign the ‘next Wayne Rooney’ ahead of Tottenham for under £10m
Newcastle United fans are expecting a busy summer as Paul Mitchell puts his plans together.
There is no doubt the Magpies’ sporting director will be chomping at the bit ahead of the summer transfer window – he will finally be let of the leash and be given freedom to bring players to Tyneside.
Paul Mitchell didn’t make any signings in the January transfer window with Newcastle United hamstrung by PSR which has effectively forced their first-team squad to regress over the last year.
However, Newcastle’s positive financial accountscoupled with a £73m boost from hefty spending in previous years dropping off the FFP cycle means that the budget is there to make improvements.
Mitchell will sign younger players for Newcastle with the idea being that Howe will develop them into top class players in the future.
With a new strategy in place, a new report has linked Newcastle with a young attacker who is catching the eye of clubs around Europe.
According to GiveMeSport, Newcastle are rivalling Tottenham over a summer move for Bardghji. The Magpies will be in the market for a winger in the summer, with Bardghji a perfect match for Mitchell’s transfer strategy.

The 19-year-old was titled the ‘new Wayne Rooney’ by the Athletic, Bardghji would be doing something Rooney didn’t do by joining Newcastle.
The report also states that it would cost Newcastle less than £10m to sign Bardghji this summer as his contract expires at the end of 2025.
Should Bardghji join Newcastle, he would join with experience of playing in Europe. The Magpies are aiming for Champions League qualification at the end of the season and will be eager to add more players with experience of playing in Europe’s top competition.
