Magpies Have Bid Accepted for Swedish International as Rafa Benitez Looks to Solve Goalscoring Woes

Rumours are circulating that Newcastle United are locked in a bidding war with Lokomotiv Moscow for Swedish international, Isaac Kiese Thelin.

Belgian publication HLN reports that Anderlecht are looking to sell Thelin, with fans unhappy they even bought him in the first place. After an unsuccessful loan spell with the Purple & White, supporters were frustrated when then manager Herman Van Holsbeeck made the deal permanent.

However, it looks very possible that they could make a tidy profit on their forward, with a figure of €6m bandied about. It seems current boss Luc Devroe would be more than happy to accept any offer that comes his way for Thelin, with the Swede no longer in his plans.
