Newcastle explore the movement for the “unstoppable” winger of 43 million pounds sterling

Newcastle United Are looking for what seems to be their main target this summer, a new right winger.

The Magpies have a huge season in front of them, with football in the Champions League returning to St James’ Park, and is looking for an additional depth to the right to accompany Jacob Murphy.

After being rejected by Bryan Mbeumo, the Magpies apparently changed their attention to Anthony Luna.

According to David OrnsteinThey placed an offer of around 45 million pounds sterling, but it was rejected by Nottingham Forest, the current Swedish international club.

Although there is still a chance that they can come back with an offer for Elaga, there have been reports on their new targets.

Newcastle’s new right -wing targets

It is certainly a blow for the northeast giants of perhaps losing the signature of Elaga. He was a player that they apparently targeted for a while, having take a step for him last summer. However, they certainly have other options.

It seems that Newcastle can move for a new target after failing to sign Elaga. Keith Downie de Sky Sports reported A few days ago, they “explore” a movement for other players, including the winger of Borussia Dortmund Karim Adeyemi.

If Eddie Howe The side decides to try to sign the German international, it could cost 43 million pounds sterling, According to Sportbild a few weeks ago.

The same report also suggests that Juventus, Liverpool and Chelsea are also interested in the winger, although it is not clear if they will challenge the Magpies in their move or that Howe obtains a clear race for his last wing goal.

How Adeyemi compares himself to Anthony Elaga

At 23, Adeyemi has already played a lot of football at the highest level and made a good impression. He notably impressed last season for Dortmund despite difficulties with an injury, and now plays in the Club World Cup in the United States.

In 2024/25 so far, including the current competition that occurs in the United States, it has played 38 timesMade up 12 impressive goals and by grasping nine assists. Since he presented only 2,261 minutes, the equivalent of 25.1 full 90 -minute games, contributing to 21 goals at that time is a great effort.

The Magpies will certainly know a little about the damage that Adeyemi can cause. Having played against him twice Before in the Champions League, he brought a assist against them to the Iduna Park signal. The fast feet of Adeyemi and the excellent long pass allowed Julian Brandt to counterattack Newcastle, which he ended up scoring.

The Swedish international Elaga also had a fantastic premier league campaign last season. He played all 38 Forest matches, scoring six goals and entering 11 assists, including a sublime effort against the old Manchester United side.

These figures are quite similar to those that Adeyemi has set up in the Bundesliga; He contributed to 13 goals and assists in the German elite, but only played 25 games.

Described as a “counter-attack weapon” by the football talent Jacek Kulig And like “unstoppable“By football analyst Ben Mattinson, you can certainly see how it is similar to Elaga by looking at how fast it is in order above. Adeyemi is not exactly slow, and,, and, Depending on the speed databasehas a top speed of 36.30 km / h.

Statistically, via fbrefAdeyemi has numbers that far exceed Elaga. For example, the German international recorded an average of 0.82 goal involvement and 0.69 actions to create goals per 90 minutes, compared to the goals and assists of the forest star and at 0.65 actions creating goals at each match.

If this is the type of profile that Newcastle wants to sign this summer, and they are missing Elaga, they could end up with the best option in Adeyemi. The Dortmund striker is fast, dangerous in transition and capable of scoring and helping a coherent level, more than Elaga.

For 43 million pounds sterling, costs that they are clearly ready to spend, it seems to be a fantastic addition to the Magpies team, and could be a better option than the forest star.
