Okay so Newcastle United definitively need another striker signed during the January transfer window.
Yes, the Magpies brought Chris Wood to Tyneside from Burnley this week.
But as Saturday’s 1-1 draw with Watford illustrated, Wood may not be enough to keep Newcastle – who are 19th in the Premier League table – in the division come May.
Fortunately, the St James’s Park side are linked with new reinforcements in an attacking sense – and Manchester United’s Anthony Martial is one of them.
According to a Telegraph report last week, Newcastle retain an interest in signing the £58million hitman from the Red Devils in 2015.

And interestingly, the France international was completely omitted from the squad for Saturday’s 2-2 draw with Aston Villa.
Given the swirling speculation about his future, this was a potentially major development.
And here’s how Old Trafford club fans reacted on Twitter:
Potential destination of Newcastle?
In a word, maybe.
Despite having the Saudi Public Investment Fund as its owner, with a fortune of £700bn, Newcastle could sign players on loan by the end of the window.
At least that’s what Magpies manager Eddie Howe revealed on Friday that signing short-term players was a possibility.
January is a tough window to do major permanent business which means if Martial leaves Manchester United by February it could be a loan deal and with Howe in the market for such players, well a transfer to St James’s Park is definitely realistic.
