Newcastle United have been reshaping their squad, building a side that reflects both ambition and balance. Eddie Howe has already brought in new faces across the pitch, but the search for another striker continues.

The Tyneside club want a player who can add variety to their attack, especially after Alexander Isak’s departure. According to Marca via SportWitness, the Magpies have shown interest in Alexander Sorloth and sent scouts to watch him in recent weeks. The Norwegian forward, who plays for Atletico Madrid, caught their attention after he impressed at Villarreal before moving to Madrid in 2024.

Sorloth’s time at Atletico has been mixed. Although he struggled at first, the 29-year-old adapted well and ended his debut campaign with 24 goals and two assists in just over 2,300 minutes. Even so, Julian Alvarez and Alex Baena now keep him out of the starting lineup.
