Newcastle United are eyeing Fenerbahce winger Irfan Kahveci as a potential summer transfer, according to Aksam.
The 28-year-old has enjoyed a stellar season with Fenerbahce, racking up 18 goals and 12 assists across all competitions. This attacking output is exactly what Newcastle craves, having relied heavily on Alexander Isak this season.

Kahveci’s contract expires in 2025, meaning Fenerbahce will likely look to sell him this summer to avoid losing him for free next year. Newcastle’s financial muscle could present a tempting offer for both the player and the club.
For Kahveci, the Premier League represents a significant career step-up. The chance to test himself against elite competition and potentially play in the Champions League could be a major draw.
Newcastle, aiming to rebound from a disappointing season, see Kahveci as a key addition. His versatility, goalscoring prowess, and playmaking ability would significantly bolster their attack.
With Kahveci in his prime, this could be the perfect time for both parties to join forces.
The midfielder has established himself as an important player at Fenerbahce and the Turkish national team, he is expected to be part of the squad for Euro 2024 this summer.
