Report: Newcastle keen on 14-goal star linked with Spurs, contacts initiated already
Newcastle are thought to be keen on signing another striker this summer and they have initiated contact with Napoli regarding Arkadiusz Milik.

Newcastle signed Callum Wilson earlier this summer and he has looked pretty impressive so far. He could partner Milik in the attack if the Napoli ace moves to St James’ Park this summer. It will be interest...
