Striker Papiss Cisse is reportedly eyeing a move back to Newcastle United.
According to TEAMtalk, Newcastle United will be offered the chance to re-sign striker Papiss Cisse for just £3million in the January transfer window.
The Magpies have been struggling for goals this season, with big-money summer signing Joelinton managing just three shots on target all season and none since August 25th.
Dwight Gayle, Andy Carroll and Yoshinori Muto are also at Steve Bruce’s disposal, but it’s hard to see any of the three scoring the goals needed to keep Newcastle in the Premier League.
Bruce may be keen to add another attacker in January, and it’s believed that he will have the chance to bring Cisse back to St James’ Park.
The 34-year-old is currently playing in Turkey with Alanyaspor, and is in red-hot form having hit nine goals in nine games this season, making him the leading scorer in the Super Lig.
Newcastle would allegedly be able to bring Cisse back for just £3million, eight years since spending £10million to land him from Freiburg (Guardian).
The Senegalese hitman was sold in 2016 after Newcastle’s relegation, joining Shandong Luneng in China where he scored 18 times in 34 games before heading to Turkey in 2018.
Cisse hit 16 goals in 26 games last season, meaning he has been very impressive in Turkey, but whether bringing him back to Tyneside will solve Newcastle’s problems is another matter entirely.
