Newcastle approach Feyenoord star, Bundesliga CB linked and Tonali clause now confirmed

Two defenders have been linked with potential moves to St James' Park today, while Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that AC Milan have a 10% sell-on clause included in a £60m deal for Sandro Tonali.

The first link features Feyenoord's David Hancko. According to Foot Mercato, Newcastle have contacted the Eredivisie champions to sound out the Slovakian's availability.

Hancko is a versatile defender able to play at centre-back or left-back. If we're looking to recruit someone able to play a similar role to the defensive-minded Dan Burn, a move for the 25-year-old - who stands 6ft 2' - could make sense.

Then comes Edmond Tapsoba, the Bayer Leverkusen centre-back who has been mentioned as an option under consideration by 90min today.

They report that Spurs have held talks over a move for the 24-year-old, but are wary of rival interest from Newcastle; who've been 'informed' about his availability as he eyes a summer move to England. Tapsoba stands 6ft 4' and ticks plenty boxes as a young, athletic, right-sided centre-bac who could compliment Sven Botman well.

Last but not least, Fabrizio Romano has revealed that AC Milan's sell-on clause will give them 10% of any future sale, insisting the Italian's move to Newcastle is 'done and sealed', despite no official announcement arriving from the club.
