Newcastle United's move for Southampton full-back Tino Livramento won't come as a surprise to Bayern Munich's former Chelsea manager Thomas Tuchel.
The Magpies are in talks with Southampton over signing the England under-21 international this summer, following the Saints' relegation from the Premier League. He would provide competition for Kieran Trippier at right-back and the move would allow Harrison Ashby to move on loan to gain some valuable first-team experience.
Chronicle Live understands there is confidence from Newcastle's side that a deal will be achieved despite the two clubs currently sitting around £10m apart in their respective valuation of the player. Ryan Fraser is expected to go in the opposite direction as part of the deal.
