Newcastle boss backs Fernandez-Pardo to find scoring form soon
Newcastle United manager Eduardo Jaissle has expressed confidence that forward Ferran Fernandez-Pardo will soon break his goal drought following his transfer from Lille. The 21-year-old has yet to register a goal since joining the Premier League club on deadline day last month.

Jaissle's backing of the young forward comes as Fernandez-Pardo seeks to make an immediate impact at St James' Park following his high-profile move from French Ligue 1. The striker's early period at Newcastle has seen him struggle to find the back of the net, a common challenge for forwards adapting to a new league and team environment.
Despite the goalless start, Jaissle has indicated that the 21-year-old possesses the quality needed to become a consistent threat in the Premier League. The manager's comments suggest patience with the player as he settles into his new surroundings and builds understanding with his teammates.
Fernandez-Pardo's transfer represented a significant investment by Newcastle during the January transfer window. The club will be hopeful that, with time and continued support from management, the forward will soon replicate the form that caught their attention at Lille.
