Newcastle United may offer a veteran squad member in exchange for Brentford winger Bryan Mbuemo, who they are eager to sign in January.
The 25-year-old, who has scored eight goals in 11 Premier League games this season, has been the target of Toon scouts.
According to earlier rumours, he would be available in January for £50 million, which the Magpies should be able to pay even with ongoing PSR problems.
But according to reports, Newcastle is eager to lure the Cameroonian to Tyneside in a player-plus-cash deal.
Newcastle United set to offer Callum Wilson plus cash for Bryan Mbuemo
After former Mag Ivan Toney left for Saudi Arabia, Brentford is in need of a new forward, and Newcastle is reportedly willing to offer Callum Wilson as a possible deal.
After suffering a back ailment during the preseason that he hasn’t fully recovered from, Wilson is currently dealing with yet another physical challenge. On other occasions, it appeared as though he was prepared to make a comeback before Eddie Howe disclosed yet another setback.
Wilson may return for Monday’s match against West Ham, despite not being a member of the team that went to Saudi Arabia for a warm weather training.
Newcastle would like to add a player like Mbuemo after a summer transfer season that was mainly disappointing.
Newcastle United anticipating departures in the January transfer window
Newcastle should be able to afford Mbuemo, but if they were to add more players to join him, they might have to sell.
According to reports, Wilson, Kieran Trippier, and Miguel Almiron may leave in January due to their lack of first-team experience and physical issues.
Howe would undoubtedly think that now is the right moment to let go of any ageing stars while he can still get a respectable fee and finance deals for more well-known players, especially because Newcastle is keen to return to European football the following season.
Mbuemo may be the first player to take a spot at the expense of others after contributing nine goals to the league this season.
When the Mapgies play the Bees again in two weeks in the Premier League (A) and Carabao Cup (H), respectively, Toon supporters will get a first look at Mbuemo.
