"The 24-year-old defender is currently on loan at Lens, and he has done quite well for them. Newcastle scouted him in action recently, as per TEAMtalk, and it remains to be seen whether they come forward with an option to sign him at the end of the season. The French outfit is also interested in making the move permanent, and they have an option to do so. It remains to be seen where the 24-year-old ends up."
"The Saudi Arabian right back will want to compete at a high-level and the opportunity to move to the Premier League could be exciting for him. Newcastle have an ambitious project, and they have the resources to get the deal done as well. It remains to be seen how the situation develops. It is no secret that Newcastle need more depth in the full-back areas. Kieran Trippier is in the twilight stages of his career, and Newcastle will need to replace him properly."
Newcastle United have shown interest in signing 24-year-old right back Saud Abdulhamid, currently a Roma player on loan at Lens. Abdulhamid has performed well for Lens, who hold an option to make the move permanent. Roma retain a buyback clause that would allow them to re-sign him and potentially sell for a profit. Newcastle view him as potential depth at full-back amid Kieran Trippier’s advancing years and have the resources to pursue the transfer. The player may be attracted by Premier League competition and Newcastle’s ambitious project, but the final destination depends on negotiations and option clauses.
