Newcastle is age for Watkins; talks about buying Fulham striker Moonis for 40 million

Hupu August 8th News Daily Mail's famous reporter Craig Hope wrote the exclusive weekly report of Newcastle.

Oly Watkins (Aston Villa)

Howe, his team and other members of the club all like him. In fact, they admire him very much. People respect a player who has been working hard all the way in the football league, and Howie believes that such players have a special temperament.

Watkins is also known to many people in Newcastle because of his connection with England, and they also have a very positive evaluation of him.

I have also been with Watkins at England Base Camp and I can guarantee that he is a very good player. Add to that he scored 75 Premier League goals in five seasons, and you can understand his obvious appeal.

So, what are the disadvantages? First, it is whether the players will be sold, and the price. Newcastle doesn't know if Aston Villa will sell him this summer, despite rumors that the deal can be reached.

Villa has agreed to bring in Nice striker Evan Gaisan (who Newcastle has been following), which may prompt other teams to issue offers to Watkins. Will the asking price be too high? His value will definitely be higher than Visa.

But the most important reason Newcastle and Watkins may not work together is age.

Watkins turned 30 in December, and the team owner will not approve the joining of two 30-year-old players. So, if Visa really joins, Watkins is unlikely to transfer. If Visa's transfer fails, it's not surprising to see someone offer the Villa player. Will

How and others choose Visa and Watkins to partner? I think they will because they can guarantee a goal in the Premier League. Moreover, neither of them is 20 years old. Newcastle can get a lot of opportunities from them, which also buys the club time to find a replacement like Isaac.

As they said, this needs caution, but the team owners want to see at least one younger striker introduced.

Rodrigo Munis (Fulham)

The past week, the rumors of Munis' transfer have gradually subsided, but at the end of last month, some middlemen had informal negotiations with him, during which they had discussed a transfer fee of £40 million and a weekly salary of £125,000.

Now, all of this needs negotiations – Fulham has rejected Leeds United’s £32m offer – but the Brazilian player is still on the shortlist, and Newcastle United thinks he has potential for development.

I heard that some senior officials are interested in Munis' potential, especially considering that he only turned 24 in May this year. If he can improve like most people under the guidance of Howe and his coaching team, he will be a transfer value player.

Munis is worth paying attention to. I heard that some people inside Newcastle United think he is valuable, but I don’t think he is the first choice at the moment. Like I said, it's a little calm now.
