According to reports, Newcastle United is hoping to sign one of the top young players in world football this summer.
The news of Sven Botman’s injury, which is devastating for Eddie Howe and his team because he is so important to their long-term goals, will still be felt today.
Although it’s just bad luck, it will eventually need to be forgotten and might have an impact on the club’s summer preparations.
Although Newcastle’s current financial position is seen as rather constrictive, there is still hope that they can bolster their roster in the off-season.
Perhaps the top objective will be to keep both Alexander Isak and Bruno Guimaraes, who are regarded as essential to the team’s future, from leaving.
In light of this, however, a recent SportsLens report states that Newcastle is reportedly becoming more interested in Sporting CP defender Ousmane Diomande.
Even before Sven Botman’s injury was made public, according to the report, Newcastle was growing more and more interested in strengthening its defense alternatives.
Newcastle is considering a summer transfer for Ousmane Diomande, an attractive young potential
According to the report, Howe might find it challenging to bring in two defenders given the club’s financial circumstances, but he appeared to believe that a deal for Diomande was feasible.
Diomande, who was previously rated as the fifth-best young talent in the world, has long been regarded as a treasure at Sporting.
And while if a move with a £70 million release clause might appear pricey at first, it might end up being a wise investment in the long run.
Several of Europe’s best teams have taken notice of 20-year-old Diomande, including Arsenal, who has been routinely scouting the center-back.
When Diomande returns to full fitness for the upcoming season, perhaps he could accept a permanent role beside Botman.
Newcastle supporters should be thrilled if the team decides to pursue the young youngster this summer—a kid who is destined for the top of the game—even though it’s all very hypothetical right now.
Having said that, it is rumored that Arsenal and Newcastle will compete to recruit a possible free agent this summer.
