British media: After missing Cesco, Newcastle considers signing Visa and Watkins

GiveMeSport reported that after missing Cesco, Newcastle is considering introducing Visa and Watkins this summer.

The Magpie has suffered repeated setbacks this summer's transfer window, missing primary goals such as Mbemo, Trafford, and Joao Pedro. Now Cesco also seems to choose to transfer to Manchester United at a sky-high price. However, the club's senior executives have now locked in a duo that can enhance the forward line and save the transfer window, and are planning to introduce it.

Newcastle's negotiations with Brentford on Visa have been going on for weeks, and the player has taken a strike to push the transfer after the Bees rejected an verbal offer of £35 million. Although players are eager for Champions League qualification and no agreement has been reached yet, the club is confident that they will close the deal for about £40 million by the deadline on September 1.

Because Isaac has pushed for leaving the team after receiving interest from Liverpool, Newcastle plans to introduce two strikers, believing that Aston Villa star Watkins can form a perfect partner with Visa. Eddie Hao is planning to adopt more dual striker systems. Sources pointed out that before chasing Cesco, the club had intended to create the "Visa Watkins" combination and may now regain the plan. It is reported that Villa priced Watkins about £60 million.

Newcastle made it clear that the forward line problem must be resolved before Isaac is released, and it is expected that this matter will be put back on the agenda soon. Sources revealed that the club has rejected an official offer due to players' desire to join Anfield, and the transfer of Isaac has continued to ferment in recent weeks.

Although the specific transfer cost of Watkins and Visa is not yet clear, Newcastle obviously has the financial strength, and previously offered £75 million for Sesco, and the sale of Isaac will also bring huge amounts of funds.
