Newcastle United’s prospective takeover has come with plenty of transfer reports – ranging from the obscene to now the obscure.

The likes of Kalidou Koulibaly, Nabil Fekir and Philippe Coutinho have all been linked with a move to the northeast giants following a successful change in ownership.

And now it’s claimed that the new Saudi owners want to sign a player in their home country in Al-Nassr striker Abderrazak Hamdallah, as per Foot Mercato.

Some of the Magpies faithful have been reacting to the news on social media as a result.

The 29-year-old has been a bit of a goal machine in the Middle East. This season, Hamdallah has scored 26 goals in 25 appearances, which is merely following up an impressive tally of 49 goals in 35 games last season.

Hilariously obscure Premier League players – Can you name them all?

Foot Mercato also claim that the Moroccan forward would cost the club €18m (£15.7m) as that’s his release clause while Premier League rivals Aston Villa are also said to hold interest.
