Newcastle United linked with Serie A hotshot, a good deal?

Eddie
Howe
has
been
brought
in
to
replace
Steve
Bruce
but
the
former
Bournemouth
manager
has
a
huge
task
in
his
hands
with
the
Magpies
sitting
at
the
bottom
of
the
table
and
are
yet
to
win
their
first
game
of
the
season.

With
their
Saudi
Arabian
owners
on
board,
Newcastle
now
have
all
the
money
to
fulfil
their
ambitions
and
are
already
getting
linked
with
several
top
players
from
across
the
continent.

bow
with
work
to
do
at
new
Newcastle

One
such
name
Dusan
Vlahovic
with
the
Serbian
international
setting
Serie
A
on
fire
this
campaign.
The
21-year-old
is
regarded
as
one
of
the
biggest
prospects
in
European
football
right
now
and
finds
himself
chased
by
a
host
of
suitors
from
across
Europe.

The
likes
of
Juventus,
Liverpool,
Atletico
Madrid,
Bayern
Munich,
Manchester
United
and
Arsenal
are
all
monitoring
the
progress
of
the
Serb,
but
Newcastle
can
realistically
compete
with
anyone
financially
at
the
moment.

Eddie
Howe
named
Newcastle
United
coach

Newcastle
are
yet
to
win
their
first
league
game
this
season
having
managed
six
draws
in
12
games.
And,
the
key
reason
behind
their
poor
form
is
their
lack
of
quality
all
across
the
pitch.
They
have
only
scored
15
goals
so
far
with
Callum
Wilson
and
Allan
Saint-Maximin
scoring
4
and
3
respectively.

Their
is
no
real
quality
in
the
squad
outside
the
duo
and
Howe
needs
to
resolve
this
in
January
if
he
has
to
fire
the
Toons
to
safety.
And,
Vlahovic
certainly
guarantees
that
quality
.

Vlahovic
is
a
modern-day
centre-forward
who
has
all
the
ingredients
to
become
one
of
the
best
footballers
in
the
planet.
Blessed
with
a
frame
of
6
ft
3
in,
he
quite
naturally
thrives
in
the
air.
He
is
also
technically
gifted
and
tactically
astute
that
makes
him
pretty
complete
as
a
centre-forward.

The
youngster
has
shown
incredible
positioning
sense
this
season
and
is
gradually
adding
more
and
more
things
to
his
game
with
time.
And,
that
is
one
of
the
essential
attributes
of
a
top
player.

It
is
expected
that
Newcastle
United
will
be
one
of
the
most
active
teams
during
the
winter
transfer
window
and
Howe
has
to
ensure
that
he
spends
money
on
the
right
players,
something
he
could
not
manage
successfully
at
Bournemouth.

However,
Vlahovic
certainly
would
be
a
top
signing
for
the
Magpies
if
they
can
stave
off
competition
from
major
clubs
around
Europe
for
his
signature.
