The Newcastle fans in and around the Transfer Tavern are patiently waiting for their club to dive deep into the transfer market in order to make substantial improvements to the team who finished 10th last season.
Rafa Benitez worked wonders with the Magpies last season, pulling them away from a relegation battle to turn them into top half believers. All remains uncertain at St James’ Park with Mike Ashley still running the club, despite wanting to sell. Will they or won’t they have the power to make moves in the transfer market? Who knows but our punters are hoping that they have enough funds to push for a move for James Maddison of Norwich, who is valued at £9 million on Transfermarkt.
The 21-year-old has been a revelation for Norwich, earning a place in the Championship team of the season due to his personal successes last season. The Englishman has impressed many top teams around England, which leads to interest surrounding him constantly now the transfer window is open.
It really is no surprise though, with Maddison bagging 15 goals and 11 assists last season alone. The Englishman always looks a goal threat, whether that be feeding a killer pass through towards goal or scoring a 25-yard screamer. Newcastle would have to do a lot of persuading but in return, they would get a top, young English talent to fit straight into their side.
Newcastle managed a top 10 finish, so what could they do with the addition of James Maddison as well? The 21-year-old is a creative kind of player that would excite the St James’ Park crowd and that’s exactly what Newcastle should look at acquiring this summer.
Magpies, do you want Maddison… Let us know!
