Newcastle United have been linked with a move for 28-year-old former Chelsea attacking midfielder Ruben Loftus-cheek.
Ruben Loftus-Cheek has done reasonably well since his move to AC Milan, and a report from Italian outlet Milan Live has claimed that Newcastle United would like to bring him back to the Premier League.
AC Milan have set a €20million price tag on the English midfielder, and it will be interesting to see if Newcastle United are willing to pay up. There is no doubt that they have the financial muscle to get the deal across the line. They are one of the wealthiest clubs in the world.
The opportunity to return to his homeland could be quite attractive for Loftus-Cheek as well. If Newcastle United can promise him regular game time, it could be an attractive opportunity for the player.
Newcastle United need to add more depth and quality to their midfield. Signing a quality central midfielder should be one of their top priorities. Currently, they have three reliable midfielders – Joelinton, Sandro Tonali and Bruno Guimaraes.
It will be interesting to see if the Tyneside outfit can bring in the right additions before the transfer window closes in January. Newcastle United will be hoping to finish the season strongly, and they will look to push for trophies as well. They need to plug the gaps in their squad.
Loftus-Cheek could make an immediate impact
The 28-year-old AC Milan midfielder knows the Premier League well, and he could make an instant impact at Newcastle United. The Englishman has the physicality and technical attributes to play for an ambitious club, and he could be an important player for the Magpies.
The reported €20 million valuation seems quite reasonable for a player of his talents, and he could justify the investment in the coming seasons. It will be interesting to see if Newcastle United step up their interest in the player and submit an official offer to sign him.
It is evident that AC Milan are open to cashing in on the English attacking midfielder, and they will be able to invest the proceeds from his departure into a quality midfielder if the move to Newcastle United happens in January.
