West Ham United and Crystal Palace are reportedly interested in signing Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic in the January transfer window.
Newcastle United striker Aleksandar Mitrovic has been linked with not one but two Premier League clubs.
According to The Express, Crystal Palace and West Ham United are interested in signing Mitrovic in the January transfer window.
The Serbia international striker has scored three goals and created nine chances in 11 Championship matches for Newcastle so far this season.
During the 2015-16 campaign, the 22-year-old scored nine goals and created 30 chances in 34 Premier League matches for the Magpies.
Mitrovic has not exactly been a massive success at St. James’ Park, but there can be no denial that he is very talented and hugely promising.
With Newcastle playing in the Championship this season, it would be tempting for the youngster to leave for Palace or West Ham.
After all, the Premier League is a dream for most footballers and is a massive step-up from the Championship.
However, the youngster should resist the temptation and remain where he is.
True, Mitrovic is not guaranteed a place in the Newcastle starting lineup at the moment due to the form of Dwight Gayle, but he should not throw in the towel yet.
The youngster has the potential to be a long-term success at St. James’ Park, and he needs to be patient.
Moreover, both Palace and West Ham are struggling in the Premier League, and there is a chance that the two London clubs could get relegated to the Championship at the end of the season.
Would Mitrovic want to get relegated from the Premier League twice in a row? Would the youngster want that on his CV?
