A Newcastle United scout was reportedly in attendance for the Europa League semi-final second leg tie between Red Bull Salzburg and Marseille in Austria on Thursday night, and Magpies fans are confident that the person was there to watch the hosts’ Valon Berisha.
The Tyneside outfit have already been linked with the midfielder in 2018, and he impressed against the Ligue 1 outfit as his team were just minutes away from a penalty shoot-out and the chance to face Atletico Madrid in the final.
The 25-year-old played on the left-hand side of a midfield three – although he has also played in the centre on occasions – against Marseille, but he failed to add to his 13 goals and 11 assists in all competitions this season.
Newcastle supporters were quick to have their say on who their scout was watching via social media, and while one said “Valon Berisha I’d assume”, another said “could be for Berisha”.
Here is just a selection of the Twitter reaction…
