Newcastle United are reportedly considering a summer move for AS Monaco’s highly-rated defender Wilfried Singo, as Eddie Howe looks to strengthen his backline ahead of a crucial season.
The 24-year-old Ivory Coast international has been a standout performer in Ligue 1 this season, earning praise as one of the division’s best defenders. His pace, strength, and composure on the ball have made him a key player for Monaco—and now he’s firmly on the radar of the Magpies.
A Perfect Fit for Newcastle’s Ambitions?
Newcastle’s defensive frailties have been evident at times this campaign, and with ambitions to secure a Champions League spot and push for silverware, reinforcements are essential. Singo’s arrival could provide much-needed solidity and offer a dependable partner for Sven Botman at the heart of defence.
Eddie Howe has built an exciting, competitive squad, and the addition of Singo would signal serious intent. The Premier League’s allure, coupled with Newcastle’s ambitious project and financial muscle, makes this a tempting proposition for the Ivorian.
Singo’s Premier League Potential
Still only 24, Singo has room to grow and the potential to thrive under Howe’s guidance. His physicality and tactical intelligence are tailor-made for the Premier League, and he could make an immediate impact at St James’ Park.
Newcastle fans will be eager to see if the club can strike a deal with Monaco and bring this defensive powerhouse to Tyneside.
