Portuguese reports are once again claiming Bas Dost could move to Newcastle, and Newcastle fans are starting to feel like they’re stuck in a time loop.

Bas Dost, who has 33 goals in all competitions this season, has been linked with a move to Tyneside in every transfer window since the dawn of time, and Portuguese outlet A Bola claim the Sporting CP striker will definitely leave this summer.

According to A Bola (via Sport Witness), the big Dutchman wants to leave Portugal after a fallout with Sporting CP president Bruno de Carvalho.

Not long after the report from A Bola that claimed several key players wanted to leave, the squad was attacked on Tuesday by their own fans. Dost needed six stiches in his head after being hit by a belt.

It’s no secret by now that Rafael Benitez wants a target man, but Islam Slimani failed to impress and the links to Nicolai Jorgensen have died down, so could this finally be the year when Dost takes the plunge and becomes a Magpie?

Fans have been discussing the links on Twitter, and some of the best reactions can be found below…
