Newcastle Transfers: 10 Signings New Owners Must Target First
3. Noussair Mazraoui (RB) - Ajax
Newcastle have a noticeable weakness in the full-back areas, and although that has been somewhat remedied with the loan move for Danny Rose at left-back, the modern impetus on the full-back position means it should be an immediate priority for Newcastle to address.
There is little in the way of quality at right back currently at Newcastle, with Yedlin and Manquillo rarely impressing when given the chance, so someone of Ajax first-teamer Noussair Mazraoui's ilk could go a long way to plugging that hole.
The Morrocan is one of the less celebrated members of the current fantastic crop of Ajax youth that everyone is flocking to get their hands on, but there is little reason for this over-sight. Mazraoui is a quality full-back equally capable going forward and tracking back. Quick, athletic and only 22 years old, Mazraoui could be the long term solution to a real problem position for Newcastle.
