Newcastle United have found themselves a new rival in the transfer window and this time it's all about Franculino Dju. The Magpies are joined by Everton in the race to sign the Midtjylland as well as a number of other Premier League sides.
A huge battle is erupting to secure the forward's signature, with Leeds United, Fulham and Brentford also keeping an eye on his situation. Such heavy interest has arrived fresh from his spell on the sidelines and fresh from a campaign of 17 goals in 17 starts in the Superligaen in Denmark.
Who should sign Franculino Dju this summer?
Newcastle United
Everton
Leeds United
Brentford
Fulham
The race is heating up to secure the young forward, but Everton and Newcastle will be hoping to step ahead of the chasing pack after learning Midtjylland's sale conditions.
Midtjylland ready to sell Franculino Dju on one condition
As reported by TeamTalk, Everton and Newcastle have the green light to sign Dju on the condition that they hand Midtjylland a record sale. Their club-record sale currently sits at €25m (£21m) from when they sold Ernest Nuamah to RWD Molenbeek in 2023, meaning that their asking price is still within the range of Premier League clubs.

After 17 goals in 17 league starts last season, the 22-year-old has found himself at the centre of endless praise. Scout Jacek Kulig even went as far as to dub Dju "sensational" back in October and it's fair to say that a Premier League move would be much-deserved for the forward.
