On the Talking Newcastle Transfers , journalist Graeme Bailey asserted that Newcastle United is certain to sign Moussa Diaby.
According to Craig Hope of the Daily Mail, the 22-year-old has reportedly been on Newcastle’s “radar” since January. Now, a report from 90min claims that Newcastle is “gearing up” to smash their transfer record in order to sign the Bayern Leverkusen winger.
This transfer season, Eddie Howe is interested in adding a versatile winger, the Magpies think they have a chance of landing the former PSG prospect.
