Thames Lenovo potential signings: Larson & Visa has hope, Jackson & Ramos is difficult to achieve

Sports     4:10pm, 20 August 2025

Isaac's future is still pending, and the possibility of his transfer to Liverpool depends on whether Newcastle United can sign two strikers to replace him and Callum Wilson before the transfer window closes on September 1. Isaac said on Tuesday that Newcastle “broken promises” and that the deadlock between players and clubs has dominated the summer.

At the same time, Newcastle also encountered difficulties in finding a replacement. They have missed Pedro (transfer to Chelsea), Cesco (transfer to Manchester United) and Ekitic (Liverpool). In response, the Times listed potential signing candidates for Newcastle.

Jackson (24, Chelsea, worth £60 million)

There is no denying that Jackson has potential and talent, Eddie Howe is aware of his availability and likes him. If Jackson and Visa are signed, Isaac can wear Liverpool's red jersey to take pictures. However, things aren't that simple, Newcastle probably won't like him very much, as Jackson could ruin the harmony of the locker room, which is a huge risk.

Larson (25, Wolves, worth £55m)

Newcastle likes Larson, and the Norwegian striker is happy to find out that Newcastle may be his next club. He may have to be the second option before, but given the current uncertainty, he could end up being the first option, and the challenge is attractive to the tall 25-year-old, no matter what.

Visa (28 years old, Brentford, worth £25-45 million)

Visa is so eager to join Newcastle that he has deleted photos related to Brentford on Instagram. Newcastle knows there is a ceiling for the 28-year-old player value, but Brentford also realizes Newcastle's urgent need. Newcastle has already offered £25 million, but Brentford wants £40 million.

Gonzalo Ramos (24, Paris Saint-Germain, worth £70 million)

The 24-year-old Portuguese striker will be the ideal replacement for Isac. He was the Champions League winner last season and a powerful striker. Newcastle's recruitment team appreciated him very much. The problem is that Ramos is not keen on transfers, and Ramos said he would rather stay in Paris.
