Newcastle are hopeful of hijacking AC Milan's deal with Sven Botman. The former Ajax centre-back who is currently the star of Lille seems to be ready to leave his team in search of a new experience elsewhere as he wants to take the next step in his career. The wealthy Premier League club and Serie A champions are both very keen on him right now.
According to Italian journalist of SportItalia, Alfredo Pedullà, a talent that is monitored by AC Milan is Kristjan Asllani. But, he is now also on the radar of Newcastle. In fact, the Premier League club managers have asked to set a meeting to discuss the player's possible arrival to the St. James' Park.
As for the Empoli defensive midfiedler, he ideally would like to stay in Serie A, but he does not completely shut the door in the face of important offers. An attractive financial offer can make him consider and accept a deal.
The AC Milan target, Asllani, is 20 years old, Albanian and has 26 appearances with the First Team this season. According to different reports, he is valued by Empoli at least at 10 million euros
