Newcastle United are thought to have big plans for the summer, with Allan the latest player to be linked.

Newcastle United are said to be interested in signing Allan from Napoli, by Area Napoli.

Allan looks set to leave Napoli in the summer after falling out of favour with the Italian club, and Newcastle are the latest in a long-list of clubs to be linked with the Brazilian.

Allan would add a combative streak to Newcastle’s midfield, and his all-action performances could make him very popular with the St. James’ Park crowd.

But Newcastle would have to spend £40 million to land the 29-year-old, according to Calcio Mercato, making him an expensive potential addition.

Allan has actually recently been criticised by Napoli boss Genarro Gattuso for not training well enough.

“Allan didn’t train the way I like. He walked around during training and that’s not alright with me,” the Italian said to goal.com.

A fresh start at Newcastle could, therefore, work wonders for Allan, who is unquestionably a quality player.

But whether Newcastle’s new owners will deem the Napoli man to be a good investment remains to be seen.

Newcastle have already been linked with a whole host of players ahead of their takeover, with their transfer plans not entirely clear yet.
