Newcastle United want to sign Dutch defender Jayden Oosterwolde.
According to a report from Turkiye Gazetesi, Newcastle United are hoping to sign the 24-year-old defender and are in contact with the player’s agent regarding a possible transfer. The player is reportedly valued at €20 million, and it will be interesting to see if Newcastle can complete the deal.
They are one of the richest clubs in the world and there is no doubt that they have the resources to complete the deal. The versatile defender is capable of operating both centrally and on the flanks. He could prove to be a very useful acquisition for Newcastle. They need to tighten up at the back if they want to compete at the highest level. Signing the Dutch defender could prove to be a wise move. The asking price is also quite reasonable and it could justify the investment in the future.
Newcastle are looking to build a team for the future and the 24-year-old could be an important player for them. They need more depth in the squad if they want to succeed in multiple competitions. They are competing in the UEFA Champions League this season and as a result their Premier League campaign has suffered. They need a stronger squad and the 24-year-old could prove to be the ideal acquisition for them.
Aside from his quality as a defender, his ability to take on multiple roles will give Newcastle greater flexibility when it comes to rotating the team and dealing with injuries.
The opportunity to move to England will also be exciting for Oosterwolde. He would have the opportunity to test himself at a high level and regular football in the Premier League could help him improve further.
