Toon 'hold talks' over Bundesliga CB - Liverpool also keen as player eyes Premier League move

Newcastle United have held talks over a potential summer move for Bayer Leverkuen centre-back Jonathan Tah, according to 90min.

The report states that ourselves and Liverpool have spoken to intermediaries about his availability, sounding out his situation in January ahead of potential move at the end of the season.

The 27-year-old is approaching the last two years of his contract with the Bundesliga side and becomes the latest Leverkusen talent we've been linked. It's well documented that we hold long-term interest in Moussa Diaby, while Florian Wirtz and Jeremie Frimpong have also been watched according to recent reports.

Tah - a German international who has been capped 16 times by his country - stands 6ft 4' and is believed to be keen on a summer move to the Premier League after racking up 232 appearances in the German top flight.

Time will tell if there's any truth in this latest link, but it would make sense for us to sign competition for Fabian Schar on the right side, especially if Jamaal Lascelles moves on.
