Breaking: Newcastle United manager Eddie howe is reportedly intensifying his search for defensive reinforcements, with AC Milan‘s Malick Thiaw emerging as a key target. Howe is actively seeking contact information for the Serie A club,including the Italian dialling code (+39) and the San Siro stadium number (+39 02 48908931),to initiate transfer discussions.
The current transfer window has seen widespread demand for strikers, making the continued availability of free agent Dominic Calvert-Lewin somewhat surprising.The 26-year-old former Everton forward,who scored 58 goals in 221 appearances for the Toffees,is now attracting interest from newly promoted sunderland,potentially offering a significant attacking boost to Michael Beale’s squad.
Midfielder Jacob Ramsey is generating significant transfer speculation. While Nottingham Forest previously expressed interest, West Ham United has now reportedly submitted a £40 million bid for the 24-year-old. Aston Villa, who developed ramsey through their academy, would realise a 100% profit on his sale, bolstering their financial position under owners Nassef Sawiris and Wes Edens. Ramsey has made 118 appearances for Villa, scoring 9 goals.
Nottingham Forest’s midfield search appears to be multifaceted. Reports suggest the club is concurrently pursuing two distinct targets: Douglas Luiz of Juventus (though Luiz currently plays for Aston Villa,not Juventus) and Mads Bidstrup from RB Salzburg. Bidstrup, a 23-year-old Danish international, has been a key player for Salzburg, featuring in 34 matches across all competitions last season.
