Newcastle to launch bid for Juventus attacker Chiesa

Newcastle United are set to hold talks with Juventus for 25-year-old Federico Chiesa.

The attacker is out of favor with Max Allegri with the Turin-based team, given the coach's 3-5-2 formation.

Per Corriere dello Sport, he would not be a regular at Juve, which means a move is on the cards.

Chiesa would be a huge boost for Eddie Howe at Newcastle, given the winger's qualities.

The creative star is seen as the ideal fit within the Magpies' attack-minded setup.

Juve would require a major fee for a player who usually plays as an inverted winger from the right side.
