Newcastle United aims to enhance their attacking options by pursuing Abde Ezzalzouli, the former Barcelona winger. Following their unsuccessful attempt to sign Victor Munoz, who recently joined Liverpool, Newcastle has shifted focus to Ezzalzouli as a potential alternative.

Reports from Mundo Deportivo indicate that the player, who has made a significant impact while at Real Betis, could be available for around £52 million. This figure presents a challenge for Newcastle, especially considering they missed out on Munoz, who was available for €40 million. The club faces the necessity of improving multiple areas within their squad without overextending their budget on a single player.

Ezzalzouli's versatility allows him to operate effectively on either flank, which could greatly benefit Newcastle by creating scoring opportunities for his teammates. Last season, he recorded an impressive 15 goals and 13 assists across all competitions, showcasing his ability to contribute significantly in front of goal.

The prospect of playing in the Premier League is likely to be enticing for Ezzalzouli, who aims to further his career and potentially secure a more lucrative move in the future. If he can adapt quickly to the rigors of English football, he stands a chance to become a standout player for Newcastle, thus proving to be a valuable investment for the club.
