Sky Sports pundit Jamie Redknapp thinks Newcastle must sign a top-quality striker once the takeover goes through.
The Magpies have missed a reliable goalscorer all season and their big-money signing Joelinton has failed spectacularly.
Once the proposed takeover goes through, Newcastle are likely to have a lot to spend in the transfer market and they need to address their main weakness then.
Apparently, a £300m deal has been agreed between Amanda Staveley and Mike Ashley.
Signing a striker should be top priority for Steve Bruce and Redknapp’s assessment is spot on.
