New Saudi-led regime of Newcastle are eager to start bringing new players as soon as possible. There are of course comical rumours of some of the biggest stars moving up to north England but it will surely take some time for jokes and memes to get even near to reality.In all seriousness, Newcastle United will start going after approachable names of world football and the question is – how aggressively will the begin their hunt?Someone who has been standing out from the crowd, and by crowd we mean the lower echelon of Premier League – Senegal and Watford talent Ismaila Sarr.Ten Hag reluctant about the Newcastle job, Zidane not interested in a move to Old TraffordThe Watford winger has caught the eye during his time in the top flight, despite playing for a struggling side – he is Newcastle’s first transfer target, as Sportsmail understands.However, on the other end are stubborn Hornets of Vicarage Road. Watford are unlikely to sell their best player in the January window – and why would they when they are battling for survival in the top tier? Well… Money.The 23-year-old is one of the top talents in the division in the eyes of Newcastle’s scout team and the St.James’ Park board room will have no problem with cashing out whatever Watford ask for.Let’s be reasonable with Newcastle’s potential signingsNewcastle will attempt to build a squad capable of challenging the Premier League’s strongest teams and for that to happen they need to start with some talented but realistic options. Watford are confident enough to compare Sarr’s journey with the one Jack Grealish had – Grealish left Aston Villa to join Manchester City last summer for a British record 137 million USD and though Sarr is a different kind of player from Grealish, Watford believe he has the potential to reach a similar level. Sarr joined Watford from Rennes in summer 2019 in a deal worth up to 55 million USD, signing a five-year contract. He has so far recorded nine goals and four assists in 31 Premier League starts.End of the road for Steve Bruce, Paulo Fonseca top candidate for Newcastle jobAs a Senegal national team regular, Sarr is expected to be a key part of their squad for the Africa Cup of Nations.’He is frightening,’ said Watford goalkeeper Ben Foster. ‘How fast this guy is, I’ve never seen anything like it. His acceleration is phenomenal.’Not only is he rapid, getting down the wing and putting the ball into the box, but now he’s scoring goals as well.’Following the 420 million USD takeover by the Saudi backed Public Investment Fund, Newcastle are potentially the world’s wealthiest club at the moment. After sacking Steve Bruce, the club is searching for a permanent manager and technical staff.##NAJAVA_MECA_5938184##
