Stoke City attacker Xherdan Shaqiri made a big impact and scored a brilliant winner in Switzerland's crucial 2-1 win against Serbia in their second 2018 World Cup group game on Friday, and Newcastle United fans have urged their club to sign the 26-year-old ace.

According to reports in The Mirror, the forward is available for £12m this summer thanks to a release clause in his contract following the Potters' relegation to the Championship.

Having scored just 39 goals in their 38 Premier League matches last term, the Magpies are certainly in desperate need of reinforcements in attack, and the Stoke man showed the quality he has when a fantastic curling effort hit the crossbar in Kaliningrad, before he ran from the halfway line to net a fine winner.
