We Need Him – 67% Of Newcastle Fans Polled Keen On Club Making Deadline Day Swoop For 21 Year Old

|

Crystal Palace defender Jairo Riedewald is a target for the club, according to the Times.

The Dutchman is deemed to be surplus to requirements by the Eagles and has already turned down a transfer to Swansea this summer, with his heart set on staying in the Premier League.

When I asked fans whether we should make a move for the 21-year-old, two-thirds of you thought he would be a decent signing:

Riedewald’s ability to play a number of positions could have made him a good addition as Rafa Benitez looks to strengthen at both left-back and centre-back. However, the Chronicle say that sources have told them that the club are not pursuing the Dutch international.

It seems that despite there being just a day left being the transfer window closes, the club are still mulling over who to target. Federico Fernandez is a player who looks to be a possibility but Swansea are looking for £10m for the Argentinian defender, according to Wales Online.

The Championship club have reportedly already rejected a loan offer from us for the centre-back as they hold out for a permanent sale.
