Newcastle United appear to be on the lookout for a striker this summer and according to the Chronicle, they are hopeful of pipping Fulham to the signing of Diego Rolan.
The Bordeaux forward is looking set for a summer exit from the French club and although Fulham appeared to be leading the race, the Magpies are still in with a genuine chance of landing him.
A full Uruguay international, Rolan is ready for a new challenge. He’s said to be keen on making his mark in the Premier League and is relishing the prospect of a test away from Bordeaux.
The 24-year-old would reportedly be available for a fee of just £5 million this summer; something that would certainly appeal to Rafa Benitez as he looks to add more firepower to his attacking ranks.
Fulham appear to hold the most interest in Rolan, with the Cottagers having already made an offer, but the striker would surely prefer a switch to Newcastle given the attraction of Premier League football.
