Newcastle United are interested in signing Bayern Munich striker Joshua Zirkzee.
That’s according to recent reports which claim Eddie Howe’s Magpies would like to offer the young forward the chance to play in the English Premier League.
Since joining from Feyenoord, Zirkzee, 21, formed part of Bayern Munich’s illustrious youth academy.
