Newcastle United are flying high on momentum after closing in on the Premier League top-4 race, but it appears that the Magpies are still looking at ways to improve their team. In particular, Eddie Howe seems to be intent on improving his options up-front with the acquisition of a new striker.<\/p>\n

He claims that their interest in doing so has become “more and more concrete” just under a month before the winter window opens.<\/p>\n Read More<\/span><\/strong>:\u00a0<\/span>Newcastle United Fail in Deadline Day Bid for World Cup Winner<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n It is further added that Howe has the Guinea striker on his shortlist of potential transfer options for the upcoming window. Falk also claims that Manchester United are interested in signing the 27-year-old striker, who is fighting hard with high-flying Bayern Munich striker Harry Kane<\/a> for the Bundesliga Golden Boot award this season.<\/p>\n The most lucrative thing about someone like Guirassy is that he currently has a reported release clause of just over \u00a315 million<\/a> in his contract, meaning that the Magpies could potentially sign him for a relatively low fee to improve their number of options upfront.<\/p>\n Watch:\u00a0<\/span><\/strong>What Is Happening With Sandro Tonali?<\/span><\/p>\n
