Newcastle United are said to be ready to end their pursuit of Benfica striker Darwin Nunez and will look to switch to former Newcastle player Evan Toni in the summer transfer window as they look to bolster the front line.
Nunez was a transfer target for both Magpies and West Ham in the January transfer window, but his form at the time made the big clubs sit down and take notice of Uruguay, with Manchester United, Arsenal and Atletico Madrid all signed. With interest in the young star.
And with 25 goals in 25 league matches, it’s easy to see why, although that wouldn’t satisfy Newcastle United who look set to lose.
According to the Telegraph, Newcastle United are expected to end their interest in Benfica striker Darwin Nunez as they believe the Uruguay international wants to join one of the clubs in the Champions League.

Tony ready to come back?
As a result of this setback, Brentford striker Evan Toni emerged as an option for Eddie Howe’s side, four years after he ditched Rafael Benitez for just over half a million pounds, when he joined Peterborough United.
It would have cost much more than that now, having scored 14 times this season for the bees, and the same report claims ‘Brentford wants upwards of £30m for his striker, but understands the player is keen to move to a bigger club. at the end of the season.”

Arsenal have also been linked with the striker, although it is unclear how credible those links are. If Newcastle can lure their rejected striker back to St James’ Park, it would be a statement of intent as they look to build for the future.
