Report: Newcastle United keen on January loan move for AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek

According to The Sun, Newcastle United are eyeing a January loan move for AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek, with head coach Steve Bruce hoping the return of Zlatan Ibrahimovic to San Siro can help him land the young hitman.

The Poland international moved to Milan in January for £30 million, and has scored 13 goals in 35 Serie A games since arriving, but his chances are set to be limited following Ibrahimovic’s return.

Newcastle are in dire need of a quality finisher with summer signing Joelinton, who cost a club-record £40 million, struggling in front of goal.
