Newcastle end centre-back hunt with £35m Malick Thiaw deal and close on Yoane Wissa
Milan defender Thiaw arrives in England for medical
Newcastle also inquire about Porto’s Samu Aghehowa
Eddie Howe’s longstanding quest for a right-sided centre-back appears to be over after Newcastle agreed a £35m deal with Milan for their Germany defender Malick Thiaw.
The 24-year-old flew to north-east England on Sunday night and was undergoing a medical on Monday. Before departing Italy, Thiaw told journalists: “Newcastle? I am happy with the choice. I’m ready for the Premier League.”
