Desperate times can ask for desperate measures by Eddie Howe and the recruitment team.
After having lost two wins in the Premier League thanks to a lack of a striker, we only have a matter of days to the end of the transfer window to sign someone who can operate instead of the Wil-away Alexander Isak and still unproven Will Osula.
Yoane Wissa and Jørgen Strand Larsen have been the goals that are most connected to a move to Tyneside in the past week, but Brentford and Wolves both seem to be understandably difficult to negotiate with.
So it seems that Howe might have to settle for someone without much desired level of Premier League experience if he at least wants to add some firepower to his attacking line-up …
According to Italian media, Roma officials are looking at the opportunity to sell Ukrainian striker Artem Dovbyk to us this summer.
It is said that our desire for a striker acknowledges, and with Dovbyk has made no impression on the new Roma boss Gian Piero Gasperini
After only signing from Girona last summer, it looked like a move to Villarreal was on the cards for Dovbyk, hoping to recapture part of his electrical shape from his previous Stint in La Liga.
The reporter Matteo Moretto has noted that there are no negotiations between us and Roma, and that every contact has only experienced intermediaries so far.
At first glance, almost every striker who can retain a consistent level of fitness would be welcome in St James’ Park, especially as a replacement for Callum Wilson.
Signing Dovbyk, however, would feel a completely absurd choice that is contrary to our recent recruitment efforts.
Last season he scored 17 goals in all competitions, but at the age of 28 and lacked that important Premier League experience, it would be very surprising to see if Howe supports the signing.
Reports within the Italian media must also always be viewed with caution: Only this summer have there been constant ties of a Sandro Tonali sales to Juventus with Dusan Vlahovic who is coming the other way, so there is a strong chance that this can all be simply agent to try to grow the interest in Dovbyk.
