Newcastle interested in 21-year-old ace but £60m asking price raises concerns

Given the interest in the attacker, it is no surprise that Lille are demanding a premium. The 21-year-old is reportedly open to a summer move, and he has refrained from playing until the transfer window closes.

His stance will certainly encourage clubs interested in signing the player.

Newcastle have the finances to get the deal done, especially after selling multiple players this summer. However, paying over the odds might not be an option. It remains to be seen whether Lille is prepared to be more reasonable with their demands.
