Newcastle are following the talented Norwegian international Sindre Walle Egeli

Newcastle are on the lookout for talented FC Nordsjaelland striker Sindre Walle Egeli, according to Mail Sport journalist Craig Hope.

The Magpies endured a disappointing summer period, failing to sign a key player and failing to complete a deal for their top target, Marc Guehi.

Despite this, Eddie Howe’s team have made an excellent start to the season and are third in the Premier League with ten points from their opening four games.

However, it appears that Newcastle are making plans for the upcoming transfer window and are already determining which players they want to bring in.

One of those players is Egeli and Mail Sport have reported that Newcastle are keeping an eye on the teenager, who Hope has dubbed the “next Haaland”.

The report adds that if Newcastle want to sign the 18-year-old, it will likely cost more than the £6million they paid to sign winger Yankuba Minteh.

According to Mail Sport, Danish club FC Nordsjaelland are reportedly looking for a transfer fee close to the club record £21million they received for winger Ernest Nuamah.

Egeli, who made his debut for Norway earlier this month, is clearly a talent and has scored three goals in eight games for FC Nordsjaelland this season.

Newcastle were linked with Chelsea prospect Josh Acheampong earlier this week and the Magpies look set to target young talents who they can develop into first-team stars.

Alexander Isak is currently Newcastle’s first-choice striker, while Callum Wilson is still in the squad and summer signing William Osula has yet to play for the club.

Whether Egeli is the answer for Newcastle is still unclear, but if he continues to impress he is likely to attract many more interested parties. Howe’s men will also have to act quickly if they want to secure a deal for the youngster.
