Newcastle United supervisor Eddie Howe admitted after the Magpies’ Champions League defeat to Borussia Dortmund that the Premier League membership have been curious about signing certainly one of their stars.
The Tyneside membership have been in want of a midfielder this summer season and settled on Sandro Tonali, paying AC Milan a club-record £60m ($72.73m) to land the Italian participant.
Nonetheless, a substitute for the 23-year-old was Felix Nmecha, who coincidently scored the winner for Dortmund towards the Magpies on Wednesday evening.
Based on GOAL, the German had been watched by Newcastle scouts for a very long time and even made it onto the record of potential midfield targets that they drew up in the summertime and Howe confirmed as such after Wednesday evening’s match.
“He’s (Nmecha) a participant that we checked out and actually appreciated,” confirmed the Newcastle boss to reporters.
“However, yeah, he’s clearly a Dortmund participant now. Was it a case of us getting another person as a substitute? It’s by no means so simple as that.”
