Newcastle United are desperate for January signings and could end up turning to Inter Milan striker Edin Dzeko for attacking firepower.

It may be easier to list the players who haven’t been linked with Newcastle since their takeover in October.

PIF’s investment means January could be an exciting one for the Magpies, with big signings expected.

This window takes on greater importance with Newcastle in real danger of becoming the Championship’s richest-ever club.

Eddie Howe wants new signings and The Sun claim that Newcastle are keen to bring Dzeko to St James’ Park.

Dzeko only joined Inter Milan from Roma over the summer but Inter’s financial situation means they could take a profit.

With 11 goals in 23 games this season, Dzeko has shown no signs of slowing down at the age of 35.

Dzeko could give Newcastle a real goal threat alongside Callum Wilson, and has Premier League experience with Manchester City.

Newcastle fans react to Dzeko rumour

Newcastle fans are taking to Twitter to discuss the Dzeko rumour, with most seemingly pretty excited.

Some think Dzeko is ‘perfect’ for Newcastle and would be a ‘terrific’ signing.

Others really aren’t concerned about Dzeko’s age and think he is just what Newcastle need.

There are some fans who just don’t think Dzeko will trade Inter for Newcastle, but would love to see him come in nonetheless.
