Another report states that Fiorentina of Serie A are also interested in signing the attacker. However, they have to beat the competition of Newcastle United and Crystal Palace to secure his signing. The player has gone on to develop his skills since he was signed from Real Betis in the winter transfer window of 2024. Henrique has played a crucial part in Botafogo winning the Brasileirao Serie A championship and also the Copa Libertadores.

Overall, Luiz Henrique’s goals scored per 90 minutes is 0.25. Moreover, Luiz Henrique’s total G/A (goals + assists) is 10 for this season.

Why will it be a good move?

His qualities and performances have attracted many clubs, and Newcastle United are leading the list of suitors. Miguel Almiron is set to move away from Newcastle to MLS, as he has already agreed on personal terms with Atlanta United. Newcastle now need to sign a wide winger or attacker, and they view Henrique as the best option for that role.

However, the crucial aspect will be whether the Magpies will be looking to spend €30 million to sign the wide attacker. They do have the money, and it can be a good deal for the club. He has the pace and is adept at dribbling through defenders. Henrique’s direct style makes him a dangerous 1v1 threat. He is known for his energy and ability to change games with his flair.

So, definitely, the player with his qualities will help Newcastle United to add more quality to their attack, especially with the departure of Almiron. The club are fourth in the Premier League points table, with 38 points in 22 matches. It now remains to be seen if the Magpies do make a move for Henrique.
