Newcastle are reportedly after speed machine winger Limbombe.
Newcastle United are reportedly interested in signing Nantes speed machine Anthony Limbombe before Thursday’s 11pm deadline – and Toon fans are excited at the prospect of the winger.
According to The Mirror, Newcastle are in talks to sign Limbombe, who is a one-time Belgium international that joined Ligue 1 side Nantes from Club Brugge.
Newcastle have been one of the clubs linked with Limbombe in recent windows, after he impressed in Belgian football last season. He had a hand in 13 goals as he helped Brugge win the Belgian top division.
The Toon are expected to complete deals for AS Monaco left-back Antonio Barreca and Atlanta United playmaker Miguel Almiron, while talks reportedly continue for Benfica midfielder Andreas Samaris.
Fans are growing in optimism after an excellent 2-1 win over Manchester City on Tuesday night at St. James’ Park, and new players will only help that enthusiasm on Tyneside grow.
Limbombe could be one of those players on his way to St. James’ Park, with Benitez said to be keen on signing a winger – despite boasting the likes of Matt Ritchie, Jacob Murphy, Christian Atsu and Kenedy. Limbombe has a contract until 2023.
Newcastle fans reacted to the news that their club could be interested in Limbombe, with many excited at the potential of another signing before Thursday’s deadline.
