Should Newcastle and West Bromwich Albion consider challenging Swansea City for Amin Younes?

According to reports from Sky Sports, Swansea City are interested in signing Ajax winger Amin Younes during the January transfer window. But, Newcastle and West Brom should also be in the race to sign the 24-year-old.

The highly exciting winger joined the Dutch side from Borussia Monchengladback in 2015, but his contract is due to expire at the end of the campaign.

He has made only nine appearances this season, and should he opt to leave in January, he could be available on a cut-price deal. Younes, who has five caps for Germany, would be a superb addition to both the Magpies and the Baggies.

Rafael Benitez is desperate to add quality players in the side, and bolstering the attacking department is one of his top priorities. However, with funds limited, he is trying to bring in players on loan.

The Spaniard would certainly welcome a creative player like Younes – who can play on both wings and at number 10 – and Mike Ashley, the Newcastle owner, must show some ambition and back his manager with some funds to do business.

West Brom, lying second bottom in the league, are crying out for a creative attacker in the side, and certainly Younes could add quality, and competition for places in Alan Pardew’s side.

A move to the Premier League could be a tempting option for the player, while Ajax would be willing to cash in on him now rather than getting nothing for him in the summer.
