Newcastle United are ready to approve the exit of one attacker and they’re keen to use the player as makeweight to sign a midfield target in January.
Reports from Italian outlet TuttoSport claim Torino are keen to sign Aleksandar Mitrovic in January and are prepared to offer midfielder Afriyie Acquah as part of a deal, something which Newcastle themselves are keen on.
The defensive midfielder was widely linked with a move to Tyneside during the summer but eventually stated he was ‘100%’ committed to the cause of the Italian side, though it seems that is not the case as a January exit seems likely.
Ghanian international Acquah, who like Mitrovic is seeking regular action ahead of his side’s World Cup campaign next summer, has started just two Serie A matches this season for Torino and is likely surplus to requirements.
The Turin based side, sat ninth in the table, are keen to bolster their own attacking ranks in the New Year and this deal could be good for all parties.
