Multiple reliable new sources are reporting that Newcastle have submitted a concrete bid for Dayann Methalie. The defender remains under contract at Toulouse, but the opening offer has opened the door for discussions between the two clubs - though it is unclear at this stage whether the current bid will be enough to tempt them to part with a prized asset. Negotiations are still active, and with no other teams linked, Newcastle appear to have a clear path to completing the deal. With only 24 goals conceded in 19 (1.26 per game), Newcastle have been one of the stronger defences in the Premier League this season.. Dayann Methalie would be asked to keep that standard and provide dependable cover when needed. Newcastle have recently been linked with Igor Vinicius, Oscar Bobb and Lamine Camara while Toulouse have had no rumoured targets. Follow for more transfer rumours ahead of the Transfer Window!
