Newcastle Untied were reportedly offered the chance to sign 27-year-old defender Almamy Toure, who is available as a free agent.,
According to Team Talk, Newcastle United might look at Almamy Toure ahead of the next few days to solve their defensive crisis. The 27-year-old defender was offered to the Magpies, with the Malian available on a free transfer after leaving Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer.
Almamy Toure had expected many top clubs to come in for his services once he leaves Eintracht Frankfurt. The 27-year-old defender did leave the German side but remains a free agent to date, which could become a potential opportunity for a few sides.
One of those discussed in the report are Newcastle United. The Magpies are struggling with their defensive problems, with Eddie Howe missing a chunk of his first-team stars. The absence of Sven Botman has left them bare to their bones, as the manager recently played six fullbacks in a cup win over Manchester United.
As things stand, Howe continues to struggle between major competition and in the future, playing Fabian Schar and Jamal Lascelles in all possible games could turn unsustainable. Hence, they might enter the market in January to sign a new centre-back, with some notable names linked with a move.
The Magpies remain linked with various names, including Barcelona’s Andreas Christensen. The Catalans are unlikely to sell him, and even if they do, Newcastle United may not have immediate financial resources to conclude a big move in January.
Hence, Howe might have already started looking at cheaper alternatives, with Everton’s Ben Godfrey an option. The Toffees are open to a sale, but any move will depend on their final asking price, which, given their circumstances, could prove a bit high.
Another name that emerged is that of Almamy Toure. The 27-year-old defender has remained a free agent since leaving Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer. The centre-back hoped to find a suitable project, but now he might stick around until January.
Now, the report claims, Newcastle United were offered the chance to sign the 27-year-old defender, with Toure reportedly open to the move. Whether the Magpies consider this offering is another question, as Howe still tinkers through what’s best for the club.
