A whole host of Newcastle United fans were left buzzing on Twitter with the latest transfer claim surrounding Ousmane Dembele.

Earlier in the transfer window, there were reports suggesting that Newcastle were looking to sign the Barcelona contract rebel, but amid the Magpies’ worrying situation in the Premier League, nothing has so far materialised.

Do Newcastle need another striker?

Yes!

Yes!

No!

No!

Now though, Catalan-based outlet Sport is claiming that Barcelona have offered the winger out to both Newcastle and Manchester United this transfer window for just £16.7 million, which would be a huge blow for them considering they paid upwards of £100 million for the winger in 2017.

A lot of Newcastle fans were excited on Twitter following this Dembele claim.

What have these Newcastle fans been saying?

“for £20m it’s deffo worth the risk”

@Jatkin99__

“Get this guy signed”

@JPTVF1

“Don’t care how injury prone he is €20m is unreal”

@ArchieNUFC

people are saying no to thi this guy has the potential to save our season man. £16m is very little risk in today’s market.”

@nufcdm

“Extremely fast winger who can use both foot equally. That would be amazing for us. I’m absolutely sick of us playing inverted wingers when we have a target man in the box. Beat your man and get a cross of quick. Dembele would be an unbelievable signing”

@TheWolfOfNCL

“Wages and injuries are the main issues here, would be a top class player on the right wing for us though”

@RazeJC

“absolutely go for it”

@knight_fury29

If Dembele was to arrive, then Eddie Howe and his medical team could have a task on their hands to keep him fit, considering his injury record. Meanwhile, because of how poor he has been on the pitch for Barcelona in recent seasons, with just seven La Liga goals since the start of the 2019/20 campaign, it may not be a guarantee that any transfer would be a surefire hit.

A nice and easy one to start off with, how much is Callum Wilson worth?
