Interviewed by The AthleticNewcastle co-owner Amanda Staveley has revealed Jesse Lingard and Sven Botman are interested in joining the Magpies this winter. “Jesse wanted to join us. We have done everything. We never stopped. From start to finish, we have not stopped working on this file” explained the manager who was asked about the club’s many failures during the winter transfer window.
Staveley justified Newcastle’s complicated transfer window by 19th place in the Premier League but also the difficulties linked to Covid-19. She also mentioned the case of 22-year-old Lille Sven Botman who would also have discussed with the Premier League club. “Some wanted to come to us, like Sven (Botman). He still wants to come and has spoken about it very openly. said the Magpies co-owner. Lingard finally stayed at Manchester United this winter, as did the Dutch central defender who did not leave LOSC and who is AC Milan’s priority target for the next transfer window.
