The New South Wales side suffered a shock 4-1 defeat at home on Saturday at the hands of Bournemouth, and fell behind early, only to… Bruno Guimarães'A header to level things up midway through the second half, but the Cherries responded on the cusp of half-time, before scoring two more goals in stoppage time to seal an emphatic win.

Before that, the Toon Army had enjoyed a nine-game winning streak in all competitions, achieving that Only for the second time in the club's Premier League history, before doing so under Kevin Keegan in 1994.

During this period, they moved to UEFA Champions League Spots and on the cusp League Cup Final, By beating Arsenal 2-0 in the first leg of the semi-final in North London, however Eddie Howe It is still seeking reinforcements this month.

Newcastle are targeting a new wide striker

As reported Lee Ryder from The ChronicleNewcastle has “taken control” Celtic winger Nicholas Cone, claiming the Magpies “sent top scouts” to Glasgow to check his performances.

Florian Plettenberg of Sky Sports Germany He also believes Fulham and Brentford 'inquired' about Cone, and Celtic valued him at £30m, according to Mark Perry of the Daily Recorddespite him The agent claims Christian Nerlinger His client is in no hurry to leave.

Cohen joined Celtic from Rapid Vienna For only 3 million pounds sterling In January 2024, he made little impact during his first half-season in Glasgow, only scoring Three goals in 18 matchesbut It happened later He had been suffering from dental problems, requiring wisdom tooth surgery, and had been unable to eat for nearly two weeks due to excruciating pain, “resulting in significant weight loss.”

What will Nicholas Cone bring to Newcastle

However, now free of any health issues, Cone has been unstoppable, scoring 16 goals and providing 12 assists in all competitions this season, averaging a goal every 71 minutes.

Ryan McGinlay on Twitter He described the German as “the best player in Scotland”, along with former Everton, Birmingham and Scotland midfielder James McFadden Describing it as “Absolutely wonderful.”

So, could the former RB Leipzig, Ajax and Bayern Munich winger soon leave the Scottish Premiership leaders and move to the Premier League? Premier League?

Given that both Alexander Isaac and Anthony Gordon They have scored free goals this season, netting 17 and eight times respectively in all competitions, and the Magpies are looking for a right winger to complete their attacking three, especially given Miguel Almiron He is Close to leaving.

So, let's compare Gordon and Cone.

Kuhn is the most prolific striker, which is confirmed by the fact that he has scored more goals, recorded more assists and a higher percentage of his shots have been on target, with the obvious caveat that he plays primarily at a lower level, albeit six. One of his matches came in the Champions League.

Meanwhile, Gordon is much more dribbling, collecting a significantly higher number of passing attempts and progressive drives, while touching the ball almost three times more often than the German.

The other noteworthy statistic is the fact that the Celtic man outperforms his xG, while Gordon, to an almost identical degree, underperforms his.

So, picture this: Gordon touches the ball a lot, and Cohen takes advantage.

The duo will form a very fearsome attack, along with Isaac, who was previously Rangers Player and manager Allie McCoist thought to be “Best all-around striker in the league at the moment.”

Sounds good, doesn't it, Newcastle fans?
