Newcastle United is reportedly closely monitoring Ajax's forward, Brian Brobbey, as the January transfer window approaches, according to journalist Ekrem Konur.

Despite a promising start to the season, the Magpies are grappling with injuries and suspensions to key first-team players.

Callum Wilson recently returned from injury against Tottenham Hotspur, and Harvey Barnes is currently sidelined.

With injury concerns and a lack of depth in the forward line, Eddie Howe's side is exploring options in the transfer market.

The 21-year-old Dutch international striker, Brian Brobbey, has emerged as a player of interest for Newcastle.

Brobbey gained significant first-team experience, breaking into Ajax's senior team in 2020, later joining RB Leipzig, and making a return to Ajax last year.

This season, he has featured in 21 matches across all competitions for Ajax, contributing to 13 goals.

As Newcastle evaluates their squad depth and potential reinforcements, the January transfer window may see them pursuing Brobbey to enhance their attacking options for the remainder of the campaign.
