Opinion: Charlie Austin would be an excellent signing for Newcastle United

One of the areas where Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce will be looking to bolster this summer is the attacking department.

Both Ayoze Perez and Joselu have left the club in the summer transfer window, while last season’s club-top scorer Salomon Rondon has agreed to join Rafael Benitez in the Chinese Super League.

The Magpies are reportedly close to signing Joelinton for a club-record fee, while Bruce is looking to bring in one more striker at St James’ Park.

According to reports from Football Insider, Newcastle United are planning to submit a bid for Southampton striker Charlie Austin in the coming weeks.
