Paul Mitchell, the sporting director of Newcastle United, is rumored to have sent club representatives to see a “fearless” player in action many times in order to weigh their options before making a bid for him.
Unrest in Newcastle’s transfer departement
Although the Magpies have amassed a respectable amount of Premier League points thus far this season, there is a sense of unease at St James’ Park right now.
This is partly because of the alleged tense dynamic between Mitchell and Eddie Howe, who find it difficult to agree on matters in their separate capacities as manager and sports director. In fact, if things between the two don’t get better, according to a recent rumor, the latter may get fired first.
Meanwhile, Newcastle’s 3-1 defeat away to Fulham in the league on Saturday was a horrible day at the office, with journalist Luke Edwards lambasting the performance of Anthony Gordon, in particular, calling him as “shocking”, adding that it was “easily” his lowest effort for the club.
Supporters of St. James’ are clamoring for new players to arrive soon after a disappointing summer transfer window, and it appears that Mitchell is working hard to make that happen, according to a recent update.
Mitchell sends Newcastle officials to watch 20 y/o winger
HITC claims that Mitchell has made sure Newcastle has sent scouts to see Burnley teenager Luca Koleosho in action several times in anticipation of making a bid for him. The 20-year-old, who has scored twice in five Championship games for the Clarets this season, is rumored to have “joined the chase” by the Magpies.
However, Aston Villa, Brighton, Nottingham Forest, and Crystal Palace have all been named as potential bidders for the attacker, so they are by no means the only team interested in acquiring him.
Although Koleosho may not be the well-known player Newcastle supporters will be hoping the team signs in the future, he is a very talented young football player who has the potential to develop into something truly exceptional.
With a total of 14 caps won by the winger for both the USA and Italy at the youth international level, he has now once again shifted allegiances, this time to Canada. In the meantime, Vincent Kompany, the previous manager of Burnley, expressed his respect for him while they were colleagues.
“He’s just an unafraid player; it makes no difference who he plays against. Even though he was playing against one of the best full-backs in the league—Arsenal—he managed to create and make something happen in every game.
He also played better defensively against Arsenal, which is something he can store in his memory bank and refer to. He’s a guy who is keen to demonstrate his abilities in this league and he’s making progress.”

At Newcastle, long-term planning is always crucial to guarantee that there are elite young players vying for spots, and Koleosho may be a terrific team member who eventually develops into something even greater.
