Report: Newcastle one of several sides eyeing Gabon striker Aaron Boupendza March 16, 2021 Newcastle United are said to be monitoring the progress of red-hot Gabon striker Aaron Boupendza. That’s the claim from 90min, who state that a plethora of British clubs are on the 24-year-old’s tail following a stunning start to life with Turkish side Hatayspor.

The ex-Bordeaux attacker made headlines earlier this season for scoring four goals in the first-half against Antalyaspor earlier this season, and his deadliness in front of goal since then has not let up.
