Newcastle have already bought Anthony Elanga for ยฃ52m this summer. Their pursuit of goalkeeper James Trafford has continued. They offered a club-record sum of ยฃ70m for Hugo Ekitike, which Eintracht Frankfurt declined. Sell Alexander Isak and, together with Newcastleโs existing budget, there would presumably be scope to afford Ekitike, for a raised bid, a back-up striker, Trafford and the right-sided centre-back that has long been on the agenda.
But there is a counterargument.
