Newcastle have “timidly knocked on Atalanta’s door” for the 25-year-old Netherlands international midfielder, but the Serie A are not convinced by what they have𓃲 proposed, according to the report.

My View: Teun Koopmeiners would be a good signing for Newcastle United

In my op🎉inion, Atalanta midfielder Teun Koopmeiners would be a good signing for Newcastle United in the January transfer window or in the summer🐻 of 2024.

Koopmeiners has done well in Serie A for Atalanta and is still only 25. The Net🦋herཧlands international midfielder’s best years are ahead of him.

Although the Dutchman is a defensive midfielder by trade, he is very good going on the attack. He has been playing predominantly as a r💟 this season and has scored five goals and given three assists in 18 Serie A sta🧸rts.

There is speculation that Bruno Guimaraes cou🐽ld leave Newcastle in the summer of 2024, so Koopmeiners could be his replacement in Eddie Howe’s team.
