With his form having recently caught alight, it seems as if all Tyneside eyes are locked firmly on a certain Mr. Aleksandar Mitrovic.
The Serbian endured a difficult first season with the Toon Army, though showed recently in the doubleheader with Preston North End he could be slowly forming into the cult-hero everyone at the club is so desperate for him to be.
So, reports from the Daily Mirror suggesting Serie A titans Napoli are eyeing up a potential January move for the former Anderlecht man have, rather unsurprisingly, come as unwelcome ones to the club’s sizeable online fanbase.
The Italian giants recently lost summer signing Arkadiusz Milik to a long-term injury and reportedly view him as an £18m replacement.
It’s not been the easiest of rides for the 22-year-old since he joined, though a season further developing in the second tier could be exactly what he needs to shoulder the burden of Newcastle’s central striking role.
That being said, here’s how Twitter reacted to the Mitrovic’s Napoli natter.
Napoli interested in Mitrovic! because he scored two against Preston! Dont get passion confused with talent. #NUFC
