Newcastle have been linked with a summer move for Red Bull Salzburg defender Oumar Solet.
Newcastle could be set to bring another wonderkid to the Premier League by raiding Red Bull Salzburg for a player who has already underlined his desire to try his luck in England. The Magpies have been using their lucrative Saudi backing to improve their squad this summer, with the likes of Sandro Tonali and Harvey Barnes among the club’s newest recruits.
Newcastle are not expected to stop there, though, as Eddie Howe looks to add further quality to his ranks ahead of their return to the Champions League next season. They are said to be keeping tabs on Salzburg defender Oumar Solet, who is thought to be attracting major interest from a host of European clubs ahead of next season.
The likes of Inter Milan and Torino have been credited with a desire to land the versatile defender, who made 33 appearances for Salzburg in all competitions last season. However, it seems as though he would prefer to join the Magpies in order to test himself in the Premier League after telling the Daily Mail that he would welcome such a move if the opportunity arises.
“I have a lot of ambitions, to be honest,” said Solet. “I’m just on my way. for sure the Premier League excites me a lot. I feel it’s a league that I can perform in really well and it can bring me to the top. It’s probably the best league in the would. I feel if I have the chance it’s going to help make me become the top player I want to be.
