Raheem Sterling, currently with Chelsea, is the latest name linked with a potential switch to Newcastle. The forward could become a key signing should the move materialise, as the club seeks to strengthen in a key area of the pitch. While Leeds, Wrexham and West Ham have shown interest, Newcastle currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. So far this season, Newcastle are averaging 1.35 goals scored per game (23 goals /17 games), close to the Premier League average. Raheem Sterling would be expected to help them push higher and add more variety in attack. Chelsea continue to be linked with Darryl Bakola, Aaron Anselmino and Konstantinos Karetsas while Newcastle are also rumoured to be tracking Sacha Boey, Giovani Lo Celso and Kevin Danois.
