Newcastle United have reportedly made a bid which would break their club record transfer for a striker.
Newcastle United fans are hoping that Arsenal striker Olivier Giroud is the man that Rafael Benitez wants to bring to St. James’ Park.
The Chronicle have reported how Newcastle have made a bid which will break their transfer record.
The highest fee Newcastle have ever paid for a player currently stands at £16 million, and Magpies fans believe that Giroud could be the subject of their interest.
Giroud has been forced to play a back up role at the Emirates Stadium this season, and the expected arrival of Pierre Emerick Aubameyang could knock him further down the pecking order.
Newcastle fans now feel that Giroud could be available, and they are hoping that Benitez gives the Frenchman a chance to move to Tyneside.
Giroud’s goalscoring record at Arsenal has always been impressive, but he may feel that he needs to get out at the Gunners, as the World Cup draws close.
If Newcastle did sign Giroud it would be an eye catching transfer for Benitez’s side, and would show their intent, as they look to avoid an immediate relegation from the Premier League.
