Fabrizio Romano said, “Agreement in place,” as Newcastle United is expected to recruit a teenage striker.

Rangers’ teenage striker Alfie Hutchison is expected to join Newcastle United.

According to reports, Newcastle United beat out a number of Premier League teams to recruit Alfie Hutchison, a young player from Rangers.

Although there has been no formal confirmation, Gers prospect Oliver Goodbrand may also join the Magpies in a double raid.

After joining the Teddy Bears from Hearts last summer, Hutchison only played in Glasgow for one season.

Given Newcastle’s status as the northernmost frontier of English football, Scotland is seen as a crucial battleground for the club’s scouting setup.

If both players show up, the Magpies will have to compensate them in accordance with current rules.

Hutchison’s signing would be a huge win for the Toon academy, which is still growing under Saudi ownership. Newcastle has targeted youth investment after the takeover in an effort to counteract PSR pressures.

Newcastle United’s approach to PSR Mike Ashley had previously overlooked the cost-effectiveness of developing players for Eddie Howe’s first team.

Youngsters can be sold for a profit even if they don’t make the cut, giving the PSR financial sheet pure profit. In recent years, Manchester City and Chelsea have employed this strategy to finance high-profile acquisitions.

With Yankuba Minteh as the first illustration of turning a possibility into a cash cow, Newcastle is now attempting to duplicate that strategy.

The Rangers prodigy was acquired by the Magpies after fierce competition, according to Italian sports journalist Fabrizio Romano.

“Newcastle completes deal to sign talent Alfie Hutchison from Rangers, agreement in place,” he posted on social media. To get the 16-year-old striker for the academy, NUFC outbid a number of Premier League teams.

The advantage of the UEFA Youth League Newcastle has an advantage in attracting young talent to St James’ Park thanks to the UEFA Youth League.

The under-19 team that has advanced to the Champions League plays matches that are identical to those of the senior team. For instance, two years ago, the Magpies‘ academy team played Paris Saint-Germain, Borussia Dortmund, and AC Milan.

Rising talents can compete against Europe’s top up-and-coming prospects in this format.
