Newcastle offer £7.5million for Le Harve’s Toure
Newcastle have joined the race for Le Havre’s coveted 6ft 9ins defender Souleymane Isaak Toure, according to FootMercato.
Toure is just 19 and has enjoyed an outstanding season with Le Havre in Ligue 2. Lille and Marseille have already shown interest in him while he is also on AC Milan and Real Madrid’s radar.
Now Newcastle are eyeing him up and are said to be ready to offer £7.5million for the giant defender, who even dwarfs the Toon’s Dan Burn.
Newcastle will bid for Leeds’ Harrison
Newcastle are prepared to test Leeds’ resolve to hang on to Jack Harrison with a bid for the left winger.
Harrison is in demand after a second successive season in the Premier League and finished Leeds’ second top scorer with 10 goals.
Leeds would be reluctant to lose Harrison, especially with Raphinha and Kalvin Phillips’ futures uncertain, and Newcastle feel their chances have been hit by the Whites’ final-day escape act, claims The Telegraph.
Tottenham, who are prepared to give Antonio Conte up to £150million to spend this summer, are also keen on Harrison.
