Burnley are reportedly interested in Newcastle winger Matt Ritchie.
Newcastle United winger Matt Ritchie is reportedly interesting Premier League rivals Burnley as Sean Dyche looks to add width to his side – and Toon fans have named their price for the midfielder on Twitter.
The Daily Mail claim Burnley are eyeing a move to land the 28-year-old, as he joins a shortlist among the likes of Everton speed machine Aaron Lennon, Kilmarnock’s burgeoning ace Jordan Jones and West Bromwich Albion’s James McClean.
Ritchie has been an integral member of Newcastle’s fight against survival, starting 20 of the Toon’s 22 Premier League matches so far this season.
He has somewhat single-handedly provided the Magpies’ creativity from out wide, laying on six goals in England’s top flight and delivering plenty of crosses for the likes of Joselu, Dwight Gayle and Aleksander Mitrovic to attack.
However, the report claims that Ritchie could be sold if Benitez wants to raise funds with a takeover yet to be completed, and some fans have decided to state how much they would sell the 15-time Scotland international for on Twitter.
One fan, though, has blasted Ritchie by asking “how are these players wanted”, before going on to say “he’s not a Premier League winger.”
