Newcastle fans react as club reportedly want PSG star Abdou Diallo, owners ‘keen’

Newcastle United are reportedly looking to lure PSG defender Abdou Diallo to St. James’ Park in January – and Toon fans ཧhave r﷽eacted on Twittre.

Diallo,𒉰 25, is on the fringes at⛎ PSG after clocking up just 68 appearances for Mauricio Pochettino’s side in the two and a half years he has spent there.

Joining froꩲm Dortmund for £27m, Diallo has not become first choice like he might have hoped. He has played just two of the last eight league games.

Newcas🅘tle need a left-back and have done for some while. Jamal Lewis, a £15million signing in the summer of 2020, has played twicꦰe this season.

A new left-back could be one of the new owners’ first port of call and Diallo, a five-time Senegal international, is on their radar

Back in the summer, Spanish newspaper PSG were open to his exit. ♔It is believed tha🍌t PSG would sell him for a fee of £21million.

What are Newcastle fans saying about PSG defender Diallo?

What makes Diallo an ideal addition for Newcastle, is two things. Firstly, he🐲 can play on the left of a ba൩ck-three and as a wing back.

He has the pace and technical abil💙ities to get forward, but the physi♊cal attributes and defensive mindset to play as one of three at the back.

That, and Newcastle’s lack of quality in that area. Paul Dummett is the main example, but he was far fr﷽om Newcastl𓆏e’s best in the Championship.

It is also questiona൲ble as to whether Ciaran Clark is Premier League standard. Newcastle fa🦋ns want Diallo signed, amid the reports.
