Newcastle desperate to sign striker before Watford match with Divock Origi, Dominic Solanke and Chris Wood among transfer targets

Before Saturday's match against the Hornets, they are desperately trying to sign a new forward.

Eddie Howe said that top scorer Callum Wilson would be out for two months with a calf injury after the FA Cup third-round defeat to Cambridge United.

Dominic Solanke, Patrick Schick, Chris Wood, Divock Origi, and Sardar Azmoun are some of the people that the Magpies are interested in.

According to The Transfer Show's Dharmesh Sheth, Divock Origi is wanted by three Italian clubs, but would prefer to stay in the premier league.

If they don't sign a new forward this week, they could play Saturday's match against Watford without a recognised one, who have scored just 19 goals in 21 matches this season.

As they work around the clock to try and make additions to a squad that has been affected by injury and Covid-19, they have a lengthy list of possible targets.

Wood has scored three goals this season, but there has been no approach from the other side.

Could Solanke and Eddie Howe be back together?

Origi is generating a lot of interest in Italy, but he prefers a move to the English top flight.

Howe signed Solanke for Bournemouth in the summer of 2019, so the manager of the club knows him well.

Sky Sports News has been told that a deal for Schick would be unlikely because of the price that Bayer would want.

Wolves andNewcastle are interested in Monaco.

The arrival of Trippier has led to the addition of defence.

The French club value is closer to £35m, but they lodged a second bid for Lille's Sven Botman on Friday.

Lille's Sven Botman is the primary centre-back target.

Wolves andNewcastle are interested in the Monaco centre-back.

The 20-year-old Monaco academy graduate is one of the options both clubs are looking at.

At least one centre-back is the primary target of the club.

Wolves wanted to sign Botman in the summer, but were also interested in Duje Caleta-Car, who is on the market in January.

Wolves are not expected to spend a lot of money on new players this month.

Scott Sellars, the club's technical director, said last week that the club would not be busy in January.

Sky Sports has a January transfer window.

Who will be moving in January?

The January transfer window closes at 11pm on Monday January 31.
