Newcastle Signs Monaco Midfielder Aladji Bamba
The 20-year-old France under-20 international is set to become Newcastle's fourth summer signing and replace Sandro Tonali in midfield.
- On Thursday, Monaco midfielder Aladji Bamba arrived on Tyneside to finalize his transfer to Newcastle United, with the Magpies agreeing a deal worth potentially £35.5m for the 20-year-old fourth summer signing.
- Newcastle recruited Bamba to fill the void left by Sandro Tonali's £100million departure to Tottenham Hotspur, continuing a youthful recruitment strategy where all four new arrivals are aged 20 or under.
- Union SG boss Sebastien Pocognoli praised Bamba's 'patience' and 'work ethic,' noting he is 'constantly improving despite his youth' after the midfielder made 25 appearances and won 9.1 duels per 90 minutes in Ligue 1 last season.
- Bamba is undergoing final medical formalities on Thursday, with confirmation of the deal potentially arriving before Newcastle United face Gateshead in a pre-season friendly on Saturday.
- Target goalkeeper James Trafford is 'leaning towards' a move to Leeds United, frustrating Newcastle United's pursuit, while Turkish giants Besiktas remain interested in midfielder Joe Willock.
