Considered one of France’s most exciting prospects, the 18-year-old attacking midfielder Doue has drawn comparisons to Wayne Rooney during his early years at Everton. With over 50 senior appearances for Rennes, Doue is a special talent who could potentially make his way to the Premier League at his current pace. L’Equipe reports that Newcastle is prepared to outbid Dortmund for Doue’s signature, despite being limited by FFP restrictions this January. While the Magpies would benefit greatly from the highly-rated teenage attacker, Dortmund may have an opportunity to lure Doue to Germany. Missing out on Doue would be a significant setback for Newcastle, as he is a prospect who could play for the club for years to come. However, clearing the FFP issues could be what is needed for the Toon to secure Doue’s signature. Additionally, showing a strong desire to sign the Frenchman may appeal to Doue, who could then prefer a move to Newcastle.
