Genoa will demand around £17-20 million to sell 22-year-old English right-back Brooke Norton-Cuffy amid his links with Everton, Newcastle United, and West Ham United.
According to a report by Football Insider, Everton, Newcastle United, and West Ham United are interested in Brooke Norton-Cuffy. The three Premier League clubs are scouring the market for a right-back and have set their sights on the Genoa defender. Meanwhile, the Serie A club will demand around £17-20 million to part ways with the 22-year-old in the winter transfer window.
Who is Brooke Norton-Cuffy?
Brooke Norton-Cuffy has established himself as one of the most promising defenders in Serie A since joining Genoa from Arsenal in August 2024. The London-born defender spent his formative years in his home city, starting his youth career with Chelsea before graduating from the youth division at Arsenal. After embarking on three loan spells away from the North London club, the Englishman moved to Italy 18 months ago.
The 22-year-old full-back has gradually gained prominence at the Serie A club, making nearly 50 appearances for Genoa thus far while chipping in with one goal and one assist. Meanwhile, Norton-Cuffy’s progress has not gone unnoticed, capturing the attention of several well-known clubs. Everton, West Ham United, and Newcastle United are among the prospective suitors vying for the English full-back’s signature in the winter transfer window.
A man in demand
It is unclear why West Ham United may dip into the market for a right-back in the winter transfer window, having signed Kyle Walker-Peters last summer. With Aaron Wan-Bissaka being solid for the East London outfit since arriving from Manchester United, they do not need a new right-back. Nevertheless, Norton-Cuffy is a target for West Ham, although recent reports have claimed he does not want to join them.
Meanwhile, Everton’s interest in Brooke Norton-Cuffy makes sense. The Toffees have been combing the market for a right-back heading into the winter transfer window, as David Moyes wants an alternative to Jake O’Brien. With Seamus Coleman in the twilight of his career and Nathan Patterson struggling with fitness issues throughout his spell with Everton, they have set their sights on Norton-Cuffy.
As for Newcastle United, Kieran Trippier is on the wrong side of 30 and approaching the final phase of his career. Additionally, Emil Krafth is a peripheral figure at St. James’ Park and may leave after the 2025/26 season. So, Norton-Cuffy has emerged as a viable target for Newcastle United.
The latest report has revealed Genoa’s asking price, with the Serie A club demanding around £17-20 million to part ways with the 22-year-old Englishman in the winter transfer window. It will be interesting to see what the future holds for Norton-Cuffy.
