Report: Newcastle now interested in ‘amazing’ 22-year-old right-back, he’s just won the league

Newcastle United are one of several clubs keeping tabs on Sacha Boey.

According to Aksam, Newcastle United, as well as Arsenal, Tottenham, and Juventus, are interested in signing Galatasaray defender Sacha Boey. The full-back has enjoyed an impressive season in Turkey, and is valued at around £14 million.

Newcastle have already brought in Sandro Tonali this summer, and Harvey Barnes’ arrival was announced very recently. However, Eddie Howe will likely want to bolster his squad further ahead of the new campaign, especially with Champions League football on the horizon.

The Magpies have been heavily linked with Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney, and may well have earmarked Boey as a candidate to provide extra depth on the opposite flank.

Boey’s performances have certainly been eye-catching. Former Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna has heaped praise on his young compatriot.

As quoted by Sporting Post, Sagna said: “One player I really like is Sacha Boey…As a right back myself, I have to say I think he is amazing, I’m sure he is in the minds of many clubs to sign.”

Sagna was certainly correct to predict Boey would have plenty of suitors this summer. Newcastle will have to make a strong offer to beat their Premier League rivals to the former France under-20 international’s signature.

INTERNAL DISAGREEMENT AT WEST HAM OVER MOVE FOR NEWCASTLE TARGET

UK
West Ham United are having internal disagreements about targeting players like Monaco duo Axel Disasi and Youssouf Fofana.

Axel Disasi and Youssouf Fofana are at the heart of an internal struggle at West Ham United.

That is according to the Daily Mail, who claim that there is a real divide inside West Ham about their transfer approach.

Some staff want to go for players who have experience of playing in England.

Joao Palhinha, James Ward-Prowse, Scott McTominay, Harry Maguire and Alex Scott are wanted by those people.

Others want to go towards the European market with moves for Ajax’s Edson Alvarez and Juventus midfielder Denis Zakaria.

Monaco duo Axel Disasi and Youssouf Fofana also fit into that category with West Ham unable to get on the same page.

Maybe we see a mixture of the two thought processes but this is not what West Ham fans wanted to hear.

The Hammers have sold Declan Rice and supporters thought his sale would unlock some potential incomings.

Not only do West Ham not seem to be close to any signings, but they seemingly can’t even get a clear transfer strategy in place with the Premier League kick off closing in.

West Ham United target Axel Disasi could end up at Newcastle United

West Ham need to make a firm decision on Disasi pretty quickly – or risk seeing him join a Premier League rival.

Football Transfers suggested earlier in July that Disasi had agreed personal terms to join Newcastle United this summer.

Newcastle appear to have a strong interest in Disasi and West Ham could not only miss out, but end up having to face him soon.

The 25-year-old has excelled in France with Reims and now Monaco having made a 2020 move.

Disasi is a real physical presence at 6ft 3in tall and regularly overpowers attackers in France football.

We can understand why Newcastle and West Ham are keen and the latter may be left kicking themselves if they can’t get on the same page about a deal.
