Newcastle has entered the competition to acquire Can Yılmaz Uzun, an 18-year-old Turkish striker who scored three goals in Nürnberg’s 3-0 2. Bundesliga victory over Hansa Rostock on Saturday.
Heavens Florian Plettenberg of Germany has stated that we have dispatched scouts to observe the young player, who is also being watched by Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. It appears that Dortmund will have competition for the teenager as “concrete” conversations with Uzun are rumored to have taken place recently.
The German-born player, who is valued at €10 million, has scored eight goals in sixteen games this season in the German second tier. Nürnberg is nine points behind FC St Pauli, who are atop the league standings, in seventh place.
Given the recent injuries to Callum Wilson and Alexander Isak, the team might consider pursuing a younger striker to lighten the load on the two forwards. Uzun may possibly be of interest to Brighton and Fulham, according to reports.
