Newcastle United’s takeover has been controversial for a number of reasons, but whether you like it or not, the Magpies have new owners and it may not be long until they’re a real force in English football.
The Saudi regime only took over last week, but the Tyneside outfit are already being linked to some incredibly talented players, with the likes of Dele Alli and Jesse Lingard already strongly linked.
However, perhaps the most exciting link is the emerging rumour stating that the club are interested in a move for Federico Chiesa.
Chiesa is a wonderful talent. He was arguably one of the best players at Euro 2020, and beyond being a fantastic player he’s incredibly exciting to watch.
Chiesa is a footballer who plays without fear. He loves dribbling with the ball and he’s willing to run at any defender, usually leaving them tied up in knots before delivering a cross or hitting a shot.
The Italian coming to Newcastle is a mouthwatering prospect, but the idea of Chiesa joining the Magpies is even more exciting when you think about who he’ll be linking up with.
Indeed, if the winger forms a wing partnership with Allan Saint-Maximin then Newcastle will have one of the most exhilarating duos in world football on their hands.
We all know what Saint-Maximin is about, pace, skills and dribbling, and it seems as though Chiesa is cut from the same cloth.
Just imagine the amount of fear this duo would strike into the heart of any defence. Full-backs wouldn’t know how to deal with them and we’re sure that whoever is playing as Newcastle’s number nine would score bags of goals if they were playing alongside Saint-Maximin and Chiesa.
After years of boring football under Steve Bruce, Newcastle could be about to unite two of the most entertaining wingers on the planet, and that’s incredibly exciting.
