Newcastle legend Alan Shearer has called on the club to pursue a signing in the forthcoming January transfer window, with a particular focus on Viktor Gyokeres, who is also being eyed by Manchester United. Gyokeres has demonstrated exceptional goalscoring ability, netting 23 goals and providing 4 assists in 17 matches this season. He is seen as a perfect substitute for Alexander Isak, in the event of Isak's departure from the club. The anticipated transfer fee for Gyokeres is approximately £63 million.
