Newcastle muscle in on West Ham’s £30m Nayef Aguerd deal after Hammers medical booked

Newcastle United are yet to fully flex their financial muscle this summer but that could all be about to change as they prepare to hijack West Ham United’s £30million bid for Rennes defender Nayef Aguerd ahead of next season.

The Magpies are intent on adding to their central defensive options and after already losing out on long-term target Diego Carlos to Aston Villa last month, while a fee for Lille’s Sven Botman is yet to be agreed, they have now added Aguerd to the top of their wish list.

And according to the Daily Star, Newcastle are trying to hijack West Ham’s move for the defender at the 11th hour, despite the player being set for a medical in east London.
