In a strategic move to strengthen its attacking line, Newcastle United have taken the first step in signing powerful VfB Stuttgart striker Serhou Guirassy. Information from TEAMtalk shows that the English club has started talks with Guirassy’s representatives and Stuttgart management to discuss the details of a possible transfer.
With 16 goals in just ten appearances, Guirassy has emerged as one of Europe’s most efficient strikers this season, attracting the attention of prestigious clubs such as Newcastle. The Premier League is a tempting destination for the 27-year-old and with a release clause of £15m, Newcastle are keen to take advantage of this opportunity to strengthen their attack.
Newcastle make their first move to sign Guirassy
Although Newcastle have players like Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak, both have struggled with fitness issues, highlighting the need for depth in the squad. Guirassy, at the peak of his form, could be the quality addition the Magpies are looking for to boost their ambitions in the second half of the season.
The prospect of moving to the Premier League and contributing to Newcastle’s ambitious project would tempt the French striker. With significant financial resources, the club is in a position to cover the release clause and secure the signing of Guirassy, a move that could change the team’s dynamic in its pursuit of a UEFA Champions League place.
After an irregular start to the season, Newcastle have recognized the importance of strengthening their squad in January to achieve their goals. The possible arrival of Guirassy raises expectations among fans who see the French striker as the figure who could take the team to the top of the table.
