Newcastle United have been linked with a loan move for Borussia Dortmund forward Andre Schurrle.
Newcastle fans have been taking to Twitter to comment on the reports coming out of The Sun over the weekend which suggested that the Magpies were keen on signing Andre Schurrle on loan.
The German has struggled for minutes this season and The Sun suggests that Borussia Dortmund could be willing to let him leave the Westfalenstadion on a temporary basis – and Newcastle are one of the teams interested in handing the former Chelsea man a return to the Premier League.
It has been a hugely frustrating month for Magpies supporters as Rafa Benitez still awaits the chance to make his first signing of the January transfer window less than 10 days before the deadline.
Takeover talk has dominated the narrative at St James’ Park, and it appears that the Magpies are not that much closer to having new owners right now anyway, so the Toon will be urging Mike Ashley to give Benitez the green light to get some players in.
And it appears that Schurrle is one player that the Magpies fans would love to see arrive on loan this month. Though his time with Dortmund has not exactly gone to plan, he is still a quality player who, of course, was part of the side that won the 2014 World Cup.

Here is the best of the reaction to the Schurrle reports…
