Transfer speculation continues to mount as Mika Biereth has been linked in recent days with a move to Newcastle. The forward, currently playing for Monaco, 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 are underway, and with no competition emerging, Newcastle are seen as the sole contenders for the player's signature. Newcastle's 25/26 output of 0.67 goals per game is behind league levels. The addition of Mika Biereth would give them the sharper edge they're missing in front of goal. Reports suggest Newcastle are monitoring Lois Openda whereas Monaco have not been associated with other players at this stage. Want more transfer rumours like this?
