Robin Koch to reject Newcastle interest

The β€œπŸŽ€” defender has been a key player for Leeds but could not help the club survive in the division. Despite this, he would have been a good asset for Newcastle.

ꦕThey already have a good defence. This was proven by the fact that they managed to keep the joint second-most clean sheets in the division.

ꦛThey will be playing a lot more matches next season as they are in the Champions League. Therefore they need to make sure they have a squad of solid Premier League players as there will be rotation.

🎐Due to this, Koch definitely would have been a good signing.

🦹Like the report suggests, Newcastle would not have been able to give the German as much game time and responsibility as he wanted.

ꦛThey won’t be too upset about the player rejecting their interest, especially when he is only interested in moving abroad.
