Paul Mitchell knows the Ligue 1 market very well. With his expertise, Newcastle United is aiming to target quality transfers.
They almost signed RC Lens’ Uzbek center-back Abdukodir Khusanov, but the Premier League giant Manchester City swooped in and secured the player.
Newcastle are disappointed to have missed out on this player, but they are now focused on the future. Although they are unlikely to make any moves in the winter window, they are determined to make additions during the summer transfer window.
One player Newcastle United is particularly interested in is Monaco’s left-winger Eliesse Ben Seghir. At just 19 years old, Ben Seghir has already earned eight caps for the Morocco national team. Despite his age, he has made an impressive start with three goals in those eight appearances, a remarkable feat for a winger.
The French-born player initially played for France’s U16, U17, U18, and U19 teams but ultimately chose to represent Morocco at the international level. The young talent has enormous potential and is attracting interest from top clubs.
Ben Seghir is not the only player from Monaco that Newcastle is targeting. They are also keen on signing Maghnes Akliouche, a 22-year-old right-winger. This development is sure to excite Newcastle United fans.
