Seems we might have put in a bid for this guy. Newcastle have made a £10.4m bid for Metz winger Ismaila Sarr. The 19-year-old has been capped six times by Senegal. (Chronicle) Hadn't seen much of him but looking at the YouTube video we should be winning a lot more penalties next season.
https://ninetyminutesonline.com/new...iting-attacker-need-pay-13-1m-european-press/ Newcastle United have made a €12 million (£10.5 million) offer for highly rated Metz winger Ismaila Sarr but the French club are holding out for a higher fee, according to France Football. The Tyneside club had a superb 2016-17, winning promotion back to the Premier League at the first time of asking by finishing top of the Championship. Newcastle manager Rafa Benitez is expected to be handed a significant transfer kitty this summer to bolster the St James’ Park squad, with quality recruits needed to make the Geordies a threat in the top tier. The report suggests that the north east club have taken the initiative over Sarr, who is reportedly also wanted by a host of other European teams. However, it suggests that Benitez’s men will have to shell out €15 million (£13.1 million) to complete a deal with Metz. The 19-year-old starlet featured in 31 Ligue 1 games in his breakthrough season, scoring five goals in the process. Newcastle have already confirmed the permanent signing of Christian Atsu from Chelsea, with the Ghana international set to be the first of a host of new faces this summer.
