da esoccer bet: According to results from our recent poll, the majority of Newcastle fans would disapprove of a swoop for Kasimpasa striker Mbaye Diagne – the Senegalese has been on fire this season, however his phenomenal strike rate is seemingly not enough to convince the Toon Army.
da brwin: Italian outlet Tuttomercatoweb reported last week that the former Juventus man was subject to interest from a number of Premier League clubs including – of course – the Magpies, plus Wolves and West Ham, while there are also sides in the Serie A and La Liga keen.
So, why is he such hot property? Well, the 27-year-old has scored an incredible 20 goals in just 17 appearances as he tears up the Turkish League and blows closest competition Hugo Rodallega out of the water – the Colombian has notched just nine in as many outings.

With the backing from club owner Mike Ashley likely to remain minimal, if not non-existent, the Tyneside outfit will be forced to do some shrewd business in the market and Diagne could be considered just that.
The 6-foot-3 hitman’s Transfermarkt valuation of £4.5m, coupled with his excellent goals-to-game ratio, might make him seem the perfect signing but our take was that he would be the wrong partner for Salomon Rondon – the Venezuelan is of a far too similar mould.
It turns out that 71% of Newcastle fans agreed with us – you can check out the full results of our poll below…
