Newcastle are interested in signing the Napoli forward Dries Mertens.
As per Corriere Dello Sport (via Sportwitness), the Magpies have submitted an offer for the 32-year-old.
Mertens’ current deal expires at the end of this season and he is yet to decide whether he wants an extension.
If the 12-goal (and 6 assists this season) Belgian decides to move on, Newcastle must do everything in their power to sign him.
Mertens has been one of the best attackers in Italy for a while now. He could transform Newcastle’s attack in the short term.
