Newcastle 'to target' Nmecha as Bruno replacement | OneFootball

Newcastle United have been linked with Borussia Dortmund midfielder Felix Nmecha as they line up a successor to Bruno Guimarães.

L'Équipe reports that Nmecha is Newcastle’s preferred option to replace Bruno, with the club captain closing on a move to Premier League champions Arsenal, and that Dortmund want at least €120 million, a figure Newcastle understand.

Newcastle are expected to replace Eddie Howe with German coach Matthias Jaissle, with only the official announcement outstanding.

They signed Germany international Nick Woltemade for over €70 million from Stuttgart last summer to replace Alexander Isak.

Nmecha enjoyed a decent World Cup, although Germany went out in the first knockout stage. He featured in Dortmund’s pre-season match on Monday in Tokyo.
