Newcastle United pursue Samu Aghehowa as a potential striker addition after Benjamin Sesko chose Manchester United.
Newcastle target Samu Aghehowa after Sesko moves to United
Newcastle United have missed out on Benjamin Sesko, who chose Manchester United. Eddie Howe is navigating a difficult transfer window, with targets such as Bryan Mbeumo, Matheus Cunha, Joao Pedro and Hugo Ekitike turning down moves. Yoane Wissa seems the most likely option ready to join, but the club may still look for another centre forward if Alexander Isak leaves or his future remains uncertain. A new name has emerged in rumour mill chatter: Samu Aghehowa of Porto, who impressed on loan at Alaves in 2023/24 and later helped Porto buy full rights to him.
Key Takeaways
"The situation they’re in at the moment, it’s unsustainable, and if it stays this way, they will have no option. They will just have to sell him."

"And I think the machinations of them trying to get, I know they’ve lost out on Sesko now, but they’ve turned their attentions now to probably Ollie Watkins, maybe Nicolas Jackson."

"The other name that I’ve heard for them is Samu from Porto."
Mokbel on Samu as a potential option
Samu Aghehowa has become a talking point as Newcastle seek a quick fix up front. The market is moving fast, and Porto reportedly values him highly, with figures around €80 million circulating. If Isak stays, the club must balance ambition with budget discipline; if Isak departs, Newcastle would still need a reliable alternative. The window shows how big clubs blend scouting with leverage, and how price can shape the entire strategy for the season ahead.
Highlights
- The market is a high stakes game and Newcastle know it
- Porto will demand a price that matches their belief in Samu
- Ambition clashes with budget in this summer's market
- Isak's future could steer the whole plan
Financial risk over high price tag for Samu Aghehowa
Newcastle may face budget pressure if Porto’s €80 million asking price for Samu Aghehowa is met. The move could crowd funds for other needs and affect wage structure.
The next days will reveal whether Newcastle gamble pays off or tightens their plan
