Newcastle are preparing to sign a new attacker after a €60m offer was accepted. The club has been selling big this summer, and they need to balance these departures with new signings. A major addition is on the way, with Fabrizio Romano reporting that a deal is almost done.
Johan Manzambi, one of the breakout stars of the World Cup, is on his way to the North East. The Freiburg attacker has a deal in place worth €60m, but personal terms still need to be sorted. Manzambi has been shown the Newcastle project in recent weeks and is expected to join the club soon.
The Swiss national team will be desperate to have Manzambi back in action, as he missed their last game with an injury. Newcastle will be hoping to finalize the deal before he impresses any more and raises his price tag.
Arsenal have been linked with Ezri Konsa, the Aston Villa defender who has become a regular for England at the World Cup. Several teams are also vying for the signature of Ayoubb Bouaddi, who is a top target this summer.
Lille are in a strong negotiating position for Bouaddi, and they are likely to make some demands as a result. The transfer window is heating up, with several big deals reportedly on the horizon.
