Newcastle United have signed German defender Malick Thiaw from Serie A side AC Milan, the Premier League club said late on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
Financial details were not disclosed but British media reports said Newcastle paid a transfer fee worth around 34.6 million pounds ($46.69 million) for the 24-year-old.<\/p>\n
Thiaw was a key part of Milan’s defensive line-up last season, making 31 appearances across all competitions, but featured less frequently towards the end of their Serie A campaign as they suffered a disappointing eighth-placed finish.<\/p>\n
He has also played three times for Germany, with all three of those appearances coming in 2023.<\/p>\n
“We’re really pleased to have Malick on board. He’s a player I’ve admired for a long time and somebody who will add real quality to our defensive options,” Newcastle manager Eddie Howe said in a statement.<\/p>\n
Thiaw is Newcastle’s third signing of the summer transfer window, after winger Anthony Elanga’s arrival from Nottingham Forest and goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale’s signing on loan from Southampton.<\/p>\n
Newcastle, who finished fifth last season to secure a spot in the Champions League, begin their Premier League campaign with a trip to Aston Villa on Saturday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
