Newcastle United target Nicolai Jorgensen is out of form.
Newcastle United were criticised by their own fans for refusing to pay Feyenoord’s asking price for Nicolai Jorgensen in January.
The Dane was the Eredivisie’s top goalscorer last season and is valued at £20 million by the Dutch side.
The Toon felt this was more than they were prepared to pay, and Jorgensen has not done anything to make them regret this decision.
Jorgensen is badly out of form and drew another blank at the weekend.
He has now gone six games without a goal, last finding the net back on Christmas Eve.
Feyenoord’s form has been unpredictable, winning three and losing three; and during this spell Jorgensen has started all of them, while picking up one red card.
This season he is well behind last season’s tally of 21 league goals and is yet to break double figures.
The 27-year-old has scored just seven league goals this season and has a big challenge ahead to get back on track.
It is not unusual for a player at the centre of a transfer saga to be distracted, but the longer this goes on, the smarter Newcastle will look for not paying a record fee for Jorgensen’s services.
