Transfer speculation continues to mount as Matias Fernandez has been linked in recent days with a move to Newcastle. The forward, currently playing for Lille, could add a new dimension to the squad if the rumoured interest turns into an official approach before the end of the transfer window. Talks remain ongoing, though with no rival clubs reported in the mix, Newcastle are progressing without added pressure. So far this season, Newcastle are averaging 1.39 goals scored per game (50 goals /36 games), close to the Premier League average. Matias Fernandez would be expected to help them push higher and add more variety in attack. Reports suggest Newcastle are monitoring Jarrod Bowen, Mio Backhaus and Liam Delap whereas Lille have not been associated with other players at this stage. Want to see how the story develops?
