Following Anthony Gordon's transfer to Barcelona for around £70 million, Newcastle United is reportedly targeting Abde Ezzalzouli from Real Betis as a potential replacement. The 24-year-old Moroccan winger had a remarkable season, contributing 15 goals and 13 assists in 45 appearances, which helped Betis qualify for the Champions League for the first time in 21 years. Ezzalzouli has a £51 million release clause, and Newcastle scouts have been monitoring his performances closely. However, challenges remain as Ezzalzouli primarily plays on the left wing, which would limit his versatility compared to Gordon. Competing interests from clubs like Chelsea and Manchester City could complicate Newcastle's pursuit. Alan Shearer highlighted the necessity for Newcastle to act decisively this summer, indicating they need to refresh their squad significantly, aiming to bring in six to seven new players to enhance their competitiveness.
