Newcastle United are reportedly keen to bring in a new striker this January with one of winger Allan Saint-Maximin’s teammates on the Geordies’ wishlist.
That’s according to recent reports in Germany, which claim the newly taken over Premier League side are big admirers of Borussia Monchengladbach striker Alassane Plea.

Plea, 28, joined the Bundesliga outfit in 2018 following a £21m move from French side Nice, where he spent a year playing alongside St James’ Park favourite Saint-Maximin.
After featuring in 128 matches, in all competitions for Borussia Monchengladbach, Plea has directly contributed to 61 goals.
Following what has been an impressive patch of form, the 28-year-old has now emerged as a candidate to make a move to the Premier League with Newcastle United seemingly front-runners.
