Newcastle United may find their answer to their winger search by going for West Bromwich Albion’s Nacer Chadli.
According to the Telegraph, Nacer Chadli has been left off West Bromwich Albion’s pre-season tour.
Chadli reportedly had a confrontation with West Brom boss Tony Pulis over the fitness training which he had planned.
Although the pair are now said to have settled their differences, and Chadli is not actively looking to move away – the disagreement may just have thrown the Belgian’s future in to some doubt.
Chadli made an impressive start to life at the Hawthorns, after signing from Tottenham Hotspur for £13 million in January, as valued by the Telegraph.
And Newcastle United should now test the water, as to whether West Brom still want to keep hold of the wide-man.
Chadli is said to be expected to fly out to Hong Kong to join up with his teammates next week, but there is a potential that West Brom may seek to offload him.
And Newcastle should at least test the Baggies resolve to keep hold of the powerful wide-man.
Chadli would inject a serious amount of quality into Newcastle’s team, and finally end Rafael Benitez’s search for a new winger.
The Magpies have been chasing a wide-man for much of the summer, and even though Cristian Atsu has signed permanently Benitez is thought to want more attacking options.
Chadli is an experienced campaigner in the Premier League, and he would offer creativity and power from wide areas to Newcastle.
And the Magpies would be wise to explore the possibility of doing a deal, after Chadli’s apparent disagreement with Pulis.
