Newcastle United are considering a move for in-form Stuttgart attacker Serhou Guirassy, according to Football Insider.
The Magpies are thought to have identified the 27-year-old as a possible target ahead of the January transfer window.
Guirassy “ticks a lot of boxes” for Newcastle, according to a reliable source, with the striker’s £15 million release clause making him an affordable choice.

Newcastle are looking for recruits at centre-back, central midfield, and striker, according to Football Insider on November 14th.
Guirassy has been on fire so far in the 2023-24 season, scoring 16 goals in 10 games for Stuttgart.
Only Harry Kane (17 goals) of Bayern Munich has scored more goals in the Bundesliga.
Guirassy, 27, is under contract until June 2026 and was wanted by Premier League clubs throughout his time in France.
The attacker, who has scored twice in eight appearances for Guinea, is likely to represent his country at the African Cup of Nations in the coming year.
Newcastle are currently without strikers Alexander Isak and Callum Wilson, and were forced to start Anthony Gordon up top against Bournemouth last week.
The injured list for Newcastle United includes Miguel Almiron, Harvey Barnes, Javier Manquillo, Matt Targett, Sven Botman, Elliot Anderson, Jacob Murphy, and Dan Burn.
In other news, the midfielder’s move to Newcastle United has “blown up in his face.”
