Report: Newcastle suffer blow as Krzysztof Piatek wants Champions League football

According to reports from The Sun, Newcastle United are unlikely to be able to sign AC Milan striker Krzysztof Piatek in the January transfer window.

Tottenham Hotspur are also interested in signing the Polish international, but the north London giants are not willing to match Milan’s asking price, thought to be in the region of £35 million.

Newcastle United are reportedly willing to sign him outright, but it seems Piatek fancies a move to a club who are in Champions League contention.

The report claims that the 24-year-old wants to fight for his place at Milan rather than moving to a mid-table Premier League club.
