Newcastle United Monitoring Brentford Forward Igor Thiago

Newcastle United is currently evaluating Brentford’s striker Igor Thiago.

The Sunday Express reports that the Premier League club is keenly observing the Brazilian talent, who has made a notable impact for Brentford at the start of the season.

Injury Comeback and Performance

Following a recovery from a knee injury sustained during the previous season, Thiago has been performing up to the expectations set during his time with Club Brugge.

Continued Search for a Forward

Despite acquiring Nick Woltemade and Yoane Wissa during the summer transfer window, Newcastle is still seeking to add another center-forward, with Thiago being considered a viable option.

Recruitment director Steve Nickson holds a strong admiration for Thiago, having tracked the 24-year-old since his beginnings in Brazil.
