Newcastle United target Morocco star to replace Anthony Gordon

Newcastle United have been linked with a move for Moroccan winger Abde Ezzalzouli from Real Betis this summer.

The Magpies are looking to secure a replacement for Anthony Gordon who has completed a move to Spanish giants Barcelona for a fee of around £70 million.

Eddie Howe was already in the market for a winger prior to Gordon's departure and he will be looking to arrive at pre-season with a ready-made replacement over the line.

Newcastle endured a difficult 2025/26 season as they finished 12th in the Premier League and they will be looking to make considerable changes to their attacking options this summer.

Anthony Elanga, Jacob Murphy and Harvey Barnes are their current options on the wing and more quality is required if they are to enjoy a successful campaign next time around.

Premier League

Spanish media outlets have reported that Howe is looking to secure the signature of Ezzalzouli this summer.

The Moroccan winger, who is part of his country's World Cup squad, has also been linked with Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur.

Capped 35 times for his country, Ezzalzouli has enjoyed an excellent season for Real Betis who finished fifth in La Liga.

After scoring just two league goals in the previous season, he scored 15 goals and registered 10 assists in all competitions for the Spanish side.

Ezzalzouli has rebuilt his career after failing to establish himself at Barcelona and a move to the Premier League could help him to fulfil his potential.
