Newcastle United seeks to improve the defensive unit with the signature of Ousmane Diomande by Sporting CP.
According to a Telegraph report, Newcastle likes the Ivorian defender, and they also keep an eye on Brighton striker Joao Pedro.
The African defender would be valued at 67 million pounds sterling.
Ousmane Diomande would be a solid investment
The 21 -year -old central defender has been linked to a Premier League move in recent months, and he could prove to be an excellent long -term investment for Newcastle. They have to tighten at the back to do well in the Champions League next season.
It is not surprising that they wish to sign African power this summer. It is very well evaluated across Europe and has the attributes to become a high -level defender. He has the physique to do well in English football, and he could form a solid partnership with Sven Botman.
Newcastle is a big club with an exciting project, and the possibility of joining them will be very exciting for the player. It remains to be seen if they can negotiate a reasonable agreement with the Portuguese club.
Future America for Magpies
If they can sign it for a reasonable amount of money, the 21 -year -old could prove to be a good deal in the future. He will seek to settle like a key player for Newcastle and fight for trophies next season. Newcastle obtained qualification in the Champions League and they also managed to win a national cup. They will seek to build and put pressure for major trophies next year.
They will have to bring quality players and Diomande certainly corresponds to the profile.
