Newcastle United, currently near the bottom of the Premier League table, aim to bolster their squad during the winter transfer window, thanks to their new Saudi Arabian ownership. Fortifying their defense is paramount.
Nathan Ake
The club’s immediate goal is to secure a higher league standing. Their strategy involves significant winter acquisitions, with a focus on defensive reinforcements.
Atletico Madrid’s Kieran Trippier is expected to join the team imminently. Reports suggest the former Tottenham Hotspur player will make a €15 million return to the English league. The club’s attention now shifts to identifying two central defenders.
A prominent English newspaper indicates Newcastle’s top choices for the central defense positions. These include Sven Botman (Lille), Nathan Aké (Manchester City), Lloyd Kelly (Bournemouth), Nathaniel Phillips (Liverpool), James Tarkowski (Burnley), and Pontus Jansson (Brentford. Whether the club secures one of these players remains to be seen.
