# Newcastle should consider making a move for these 2 attackers this summer – Agreed?

**Newcastle United supporters in the Football Transfer Tavern have a lot of optimism ahead of the 2017/18 Premier League season following their return having won the Championship title.**

The Magpies have also learnt their top-flight fixtures for next term, which includes a difficult opener against Tottenham Hotspur with a trip to Huddersfield Town succeeding that.

Fans by the bar have been discussing the ambition of honourable manager Rafa Benitez and hope a battle for relegation is a distant fear that supporters won’t have to worry about throughout the next campaign.

The worst scenario is a drop to the second-tier for the Tyneside outfit, but to utterly and completely avoid that then the club need to dive far into their pockets to heavily invest in the playing squad – ensuring at least a mid-table finish for the north-east side.

With that on the conscience; here are two attackers Newcastle United should consider making a move for this summer transfer window…..Do you agree?

## Loic Remy

Loic Remy found possession of game time last season a difficult task to head on as the Frenchman endured a very tough loan spell at Premier League team Crystal Palace, from Chelsea.

The Newcastle-mad punters in the Football Transfer Tavern were fans of the 30 year-old during his stint at St. James’ Park back in the 2013/14 campaign, having netted fourteen goals to impress the Toon Army.

Rafa Benitez would still have to stump up a fee for Remy as he has one-year remaining on his current deal at Stamford Bridge but is marginally out-of-favour and is likely to depart the top-flight champions this summer.

## Fernando Forestieri

One man who may be unknown to the Football Transfer Tavern is Sheffield Wednesday starlet Fernando Forestieri – a player whose been on the radar for a number of English clubs in recent times.

Predominantly a centre-forward, the Italian often plays behind the striker and that is something that Newcastle United largely lack going into pre-season training later this month, so he is definitely a proposition that Rafa Benitez needs to dive in for.

Forestieri bagged on twelve occasions last season and provided a further six assists, statistics which could become pivotal for the Magpies if they aim to stay adrift of the relegation zone next term.
