Newcastle’s search for strikers rumbles on and a new name has been linked with a potential move to St James’ Park today.
The Mail’s [Craig Hope](https://x.com/CraigHope_DM/status/1958862989144076618) reports that the club are now exploring ‘two or three’ strikers options, knowing they can’t wait for **Yoane Wissa** forever after Brentford rejected our second offer worth £40m earlier this week.
The DR Congo star remains a target, but Newcastle wants ‘answers today’ and have been discussing another option in Atletico Madrid giant **Alexander Sorloth**.
Sorloth is a 6ft 4″ Norwegian international who has just come off the back of a superb season in Spain, where he netted 24 goals in all competitions for Diego Simeone’s side before featuring in the Sela Cup at St James’ Park two weeks ago.
It’s believed the 29-year-old former Crystal Palace man has come into the conversation, with alternative options needed now a deal for Wolves’ **Jorgen Strand Larsen** also coming with complications.
Hope insists that Wolves do NOT want to sell their star striker, which is to be expected when they have just 10 days left of the summer window to find a replacement, having already sold Mathues Cunha already this summer.
Reports in the Midlands indicated yesterday that we were pushing to sign the 25-year-old, who is also from Norway, although it seems, much like Wissa, it won’t be a simple deal to get done at this stage of the window.
