There is no doubt that Rashica is a talented and promising young attacker, but it would be a risk on the part of Newcastle if they think that signing him would save them from relegation to the Championship at the end of the season.

It could take the youngster some time to settle in, and moreover given that he is only 21 years of age, the Magpies cannot really expect him to their saviour.

Newcastle’s recent results and performances suggest that the Magpies are in real danger of getting relegated from the Premier League at the end of the season.
