The Leeds United ace is reportedly wanted by Wolverhampton Wanderers and Southampton, but would be a welcome addition for Newcastle United.
Newcastle boss Rafa Benitez will be a relieved man following his side’s hard-fought 1-0 win over Watford at St James’ Park on Saturday, but the real hard work for him is only just beginning.
The Spaniard must not allow Saturday’s win to paper over the cracks, with his need for more firepower in the final third clear to see for everyone watching.
With this in mind, the Magpies should consider a move for Leeds hitman Kemar Roofe.
The 25-year-old is attracting interest from a handful of Premier League clubs, according to the Sunday Mirror (November 4th, page 66), and he might just be available, with talks concerning a potential new deal stalling between him and the club.
Roofe has been in fine form for Leeds this season, chalking up seven goals and two assists in 10 Championship outings so far, and he would be a great addition to the Newcastle side.
He possesses fantastic movement, has blistering pace, and would provide Rafa with a totally different option to what he currently possesses in the final third.
Newcastle have scored just seven goals in 11 Premier League outings thus far, and are in desperate need of someone who is clinical when presented with a goalscoring opportunity.
And Leeds ace Roofe could be just the man for the job on Tyneside.
