Newcastle United manager Steve Bruce has confirmed that he is looking to sign a striker this month.
The Magpies have struggled in front of the goal and they will have to bring in a goalscorer if they want to finish the season strongly.
Summer signing Joelinton has failed to deliver so far (one goal in 18 league games) and the team is lacking in goals from the midfield as well. It will be interesting to see if Ashley backs his manager.
Bruce has confirmed to Sky Sports that the club have already had two setbacks in their pursuit of a striker.
