# Newcastle United: Magpies in Angelo Fulgini race

**Newcastle United are reportedly in a race with a number of clubs in the Premier League to sign Angelo Fulgini in the summer transfer window.**

### The Lowdown: Fulgini impresses

Fulgini has come off the back of a very impressive individual 2020/21 season with Angers in France, scoring no fewer than 10 goals and making a further four assists in 36 games in total over all competitions ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/angelo-fulgini/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/250013/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=)).

He also showed his added ability to play in a wide number of different [positions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/angelo-fulgini/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/250013/plus/0?saison=2020&verein=&liga=&wettbewerb=&pos=&trainer_id=), which would be very useful to have in Steve Bruce’s squad.

**The Latest: Fulgini monitored**

As per [The Daily Mail](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-9835699/Crystal-Palace-Newcastle-enter-race-12m-Angers-creative-midfielder-Angelo-Fulgini.html), Fulgini is being ‘monitored’ by the St. James’ Park faithful as well as Crystal Palace, while he has also been previously linked to both Everton and Southampton.

Rated at £12m, he is described in the piece as a ‘talented’ player while also ‘versatile, creative, skilful’ and a ‘set-piece specialist’.

### The Verdict: Sign

Fulgini sounds like a player who could really benefit the North East club in terms of his creativity, which players like Allan Saint-Maximin and Callum Wilson should be able to thrive off of.

£12m could turn out to be a real bargain too, as at just 24 years of age, he certainly still has plenty of time to improve further and develop into a top player.

Nonetheless, the Toon Army will be desperate for a new face to come into the door, and so we suspect Fulgini would be welcomed with open arms.
