Edon Zhegrova Transfer from LOSC Lille to Newcastle United
Lille president Olivier Letang revealed that the club intends to sell Edon Zhegrova this summer. According to SciSports' Career Advice tool, Newcastle is deemed the most suitable next club for Zhegrova, with a compatibility score of 83 out of 100. Newcastle is in search of a right-winger, and Zhegrova is considered a cost-effective alternative to their primary target, Anthony Elanga. The Kosovo international has reportedly expressed a desire to leave Lille, having sought a move for at least a year. With only a year remaining on his contract and Lille having recently lost Jonathan David and Angel Gomes on free transfers, the club is ready to proceed with his sale. Newcastle's interest arises amidst their ongoing search for a right-winger, following a rejected offer for Anthony Elanga from Nottingham Forest, who allegedly demand €70 million. In contrast, Zhegrova's Estimated Transfer Value stands at €20.3 million, presenting a significantly cheaper option. Despite missing the second half of last season due to injury, Zhegrova still managed to score eight goals and provide two assists in 21 appearances, underscoring his potential value to Newcastle.
