# Newcastle United: Magpies now face Jens Cajuste transfer battle

**Newcastle United now face a battle with another club in the Premier League to sign Jens Cajuste before the summer transfer window ends.**

### The Lowdown: Cajuste interest

The St James’ Park outfit have [reportedly](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/newcastle-united-transfer-rumours/jens-cajuste-leeds-wolves-crystal-palace/) shown a concrete interest in signing the 21-year-old and are prepared to make an offer to try and sign the Sweden international.

However, Ligue 1 side Rennes have already made a bid, and Wolves, Leeds United and Crystal Palace are also thought to be interested in his signature.

### The Latest: Fee agreed

As per [Sportbladet](https://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/fotboll/a/w8axgP/avslojar-brentford-overens-med-midtjylland-om-jattesumma-for-cajuste), Brentford have now agreed a fee to sign Cajuste, so the Magpies will now have to act fast if they are serious about signing him.

The defensive midfielder is reportedly ‘about to leave’ FC Midtjylland, but personal terms have not yet been agreed with the Bees.

### The Verdict: Sign now!

If the Tyneside club wait any longer, Cajuste is likely to end up at one of their top-flight rivals.

Described as the [‘future of Swedish football’](https://mobile.twitter.com/ftalentscout/status/1379140569801359360) and an [‘exciting’](https://mobile.twitter.com/ftalentscout/status/1379140569801359360) prospect by football talent scout Jacek Kulig, the 21-year-old was hailed as [‘excellent’](https://mobile.twitter.com/ftalentscout/status/1379140569801359360) following an impressive display against Brondby in a Danish Superliga clash back in April.

Steve Bruce needs to bolster his Newcastle squad ahead of the new 2021/22 season, and signing Cajuste would help to do just that, but only if the Magpies make some late shapes to hijack Brentford’s efforts.
