Newcastle, in turn, suffered from several injuries that hampered the team’s performance during the season. Therefore, according to the newspaper, the London club is looking to reinforce its squad in the next transfer window.
Despite striker Alexander Isak having a good season for Newcastle, Evanilson is seen as a good alternative to share the responsibility of the team’s attack.
Revealed by Fluminense and with a spell at Tombense, Evanilson arrived at Porto in 2020. In Portugal, he has already played 146 games and scored 57 goals. This season, the 24-year-old striker has been having his best campaign, with 22 goals scored in 35 matches.
