Hasenhuttl's 'serious player’ Tino Livramento claim explains why he's ideal for Newcastle United

Tino Livramento's former Southampton manager Ralph Hasenhuttl has already explained why the defender would be an ideal signing for Newcastle United this summer.

The Magpies are in talks with Southampton to sign the England under-21 international this summer, following the Saints' relegation from the Premier League. Livramento will provide competition for Kieran Trippier at right-back, allowing Newcastle to send Harrison Ashby out on loan.
