A recent report from Football Transfers has claimed that Newcastle United have been offered the chance to sign Watford winger Ismaila Sarr, with the player's representatives having met with the Magpies last month as the 24-year-old seeks an escape route out of Vicarage Road.
The former Rennes man appears to be eyeing a new home as the Hornets ebb towards an inevitable drop back into the second tier, with the report suggesting that a fee of roughly £40m could be enough to snap him up this summer.
Although it remains to be seen if Eddie Howe's side are actually interested in pursuing the signing of the £71k-per-week speedster, the thought of him lining up at St James' Park next season truly is a mouthwatering prospect.
The Senegalese sensation has endured a tricky stint back in the top-flight - with just five goals and two assists to his name in the Premier League this season - although he caught the eye during an explosive debut campaign in English football two seasons ago.
Having made the club-record switch to his current side in the summer of 2019, the 39-cap international went on to provide 11 goal contributions in that first season, albeit with that not proving enough to keep the club away from the drop zone.
The subsequent season saw Sarr remain with Watford despite interest from the likes of Manchester United, with the "rapid" ace, as he has been described by Liverpool's Sadio Mane, bagging 13 goals and registering ten assists as Xisco Munoz's side secured an instant return back to the top tier.
Dubbed a "freak" by current teammate Ben Foster for his ridiculous talent, the one-time Metz man would offer guaranteed thrills to those in the northeast, with Howe and co already having his perfect partner in crime in Allan Saint-Maximin.
Should the Frenchman stay put - despite reports he is up for sale - he would seemingly be able to dovetail beautifully with Sarr, the duo offering electric speed and undoubted skill down the flank.
While Saint-Maximin often does his damage cutting in off the left, the aforementioned target is at his most potent down the right-wing, offering the Newcastle boss the chance to terrify teams on the counter and remain a threat on both wings.
Although it is not yet known if there is concrete interest in the £24.3m-rated gem, PIF should do the club's supporters - and the Premier League - a favour by putting the two dynamic stars together.
They would surely be buzzing at the thought of watching the pair play at St James' Park next term.
