After splashing £62 million on a striker in the recent transfer window, newly-rich Newcastle United are now reportedly preparing to spend £50 million on a player dubbed"the Ukrainian Neymar".Since the Saudi Arabia Public Investment Fund's takeover of the Magpies in October last year, a number of fresh faces have been brought in to bolster Eddie Howe's chances of steadily getting the side to climb the Premier League table.
In the January window halfway through the previous campaign, the likes of Kieran Trippier and Bruno Guimaraes were brought in from Atletico Madrid and Olympique Lyon, respectively, and there was more movement ahead of the current season. Sven Botman and Alexander Isak were among the new arrivals, with the latter costing Newcastle a staggering £62 million, making him the Toon's most expensive signing in history., the club is now ready to make another big acquisition as they attempt to beat other European teams to the signature of Shakhtar Donetsk winger Mykhaylo Mudryk, who has been likened to Brazil superstar Neymar.
Mudryk, 21, is enjoying a breakthrough campaign in Ukraine, with his performances in the UEFA Champions League, in particular, catching the attention of top teams outside of his home country. The attacker has contributed to an impressive four goals in his opening two Champions League matches of the campaign, with Arsenal one of the other clubs credited with an interest in the player.
