Newcastle United failed in their bid to sign defender Sven Botman in January - but could be back in the running as he eyes a fresh challenge.
The Lille defender was heavily linked with a move to the Premier League that never materialised. But he has now spoken out on his future, confirming that “talks are underway” over a potential exit this summer.
The 22-year-old has endured a fine season for Lille in which he made 32 appearances in all competitions, grabbing one assist and three goals, as his side finished 10th in Ligue 1 and made the UEFA Champions League Last 16. As a result, Botman is a highly wanted man and a summer exit is now on the cards.
