"Sven Botman of Newcastle United (Photo by Justin Setterfield/Getty Images) There's been a delay to sorting out a new contract for Botman due to the change in sporting director at Newcastle, one source told me. But a new deal for Botman is one of Ross Wilson's top priorities. Newcastle are calm about the situation. They don't want to sell, and he's yet to signal that he wants to leave."
"Slot sees Botman as someone who'd fit in well. Liverpool have monitored him closely and could make a move. Another said: Chelsea have been tracking Botman for a while. The Blues need an upgrade on unconvincing performers like Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo, so Botman could be an ideal fit."
Liverpool and Chelsea are tracking 25-year-old central defender Sven Botman because of his fine form at Newcastle. Newcastle prioritize keeping Botman and plan to hold new contract talks as a top concern for sporting director Ross Wilson. A delay to those talks occurred during the change of sporting director, but the club remains calm and Botman has not indicated a desire to leave. Liverpool have monitored Botman closely and could make an offer, with the player potentially fitting Arne Slot's system if Ibrahima Konate departs. Chelsea view Botman as an upgrade over current centre-back options such as Trevoh Chalobah and Tosin Adarabioyo.
