# Newcastle fans welcome report on Adam Armstrong’s future

Many Newcastle United supporters have welcomed a report from [Chronicle Live](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-adam-armstrong-clause-19795691) detailing that the Magpies are set to benefit from a 40% sell-on clause in [Adam Armstrong](https://readnewcastle.com/2021/01/22/newcastle-major-mistake-losing-adam-armstrong-blackburn/)’s contract were he to be sold in the summer.

Armstrong, who [turns 24 today](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/profil/spieler/250426), is enjoying an excellent campaign for Blackburn and has started to fulfil the potential he showed at Newcastle before his [£1.75m move](https://www.lancs.live/sport/football/transfer-news/blackburn-rovers-armstrong-waggott-newcastle-19304432) to the Championship club in 2018. He has fired in 17 goals so far in the second tier ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/adam-armstrong/361352)), making him the [second top scorer in the division](https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/championship/top-scorers) behind former Magpies youth player Ivan Toney.

The striker attracted interest from West Ham in January and the Hammers considered [making an £8m offer for him](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/13969813/west-ham-blackburn-armstrong-transfer/), but Blackburn were likely to have demanded a lot more than that despite his contract [expiring in 2022](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/adam-armstrong/profil/spieler/250426). As reported by [Chronicle Live](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-adam-armstrong-clause-19795691), Newcastle will receive 40% of the fee for which he is eventually sold to another club, or they could even potentially re-sign him for a cheaper fee than other suitors could get.

Armstrong is [reportedly interested](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/newcastle-united-adam-armstrong-clause-19795691) in a return to Newcastle and the Magpies could sign him for less than any other club due to their sell-on clause. It will therefore be interesting to see whether the Magpies actually come in with an offer to re-sign him in the summer transfer window.

### **Newcastle fans react to Armstrong report**

Many Newcastle fans were enthused by this latest update and suggested that the Magpies should make a move to re-sign Armstrong in the summer considering they can get him for less than other clubs.

> Yeah we should try to get Arma back. If we can pick up one of the best players in the Championship 40% cheaper than other PL clubs, we should definitely do that. Excellent Gayle replacement.

> Should’ve taken advantage of it by buying him back in place of Carrol or Gayle.
