Newcastle should target Championship superstar Eberechi Eze

Eberechi Eze has taken the Championship by storm this season.

The Queens Park Rangers superstar has been immense in the second tier, leading to rumours of a £20 million to Tottenham Hotspur.

However, the Sun claim that a move to Tottenham might be off the cards now that Mauricio Pochettino has been replaced by Jose Mourinho.

West Ham have also been linked with Eze, and Newcastle United should join them.

The Magpies have been linked with another Championship star in Jarrod Bowen, and Eze has been equally as impressive. QPR’s number 10 is elegant in possession, gliding past players as if they’re not even there.

The 21-year-old has also added end product to his game, so far managing seven goals and providing four assists for Mark Warburton’s side. He’s already bettered his tally from last season, where he only managed to find the net four times.

Eze can add the depth that Bruce desperately needs

Eze predominantly operates from the left or as an attacking midfielder, but he can also play on the right, meaning he could add depth to Steve Bruce’s attacking ranks. That’s one thing we’re currently missing – offensive options.

We’re well stocked with quality centre-backs, but the likes of Miguel Almiron and Allan Saint-Maximin don’t really have any competition. The lack of options on the bench means it’s hard for Bruce to change the tide of a game using a substitute, other than turning to a somewhat immobile Andy Carroll.

Eze seems like a player destined for the Premier League, and Newcastle should enter the equation and give the youngster a chance in the top flight. He’d be a worthwhile investment, and a player who could be sold on for a huge profit in the future – something that Mike Ashley loves.
