Apparently NUFC are in talks to sign Palermo left back Achraf Lazaar. Meant to be pretty good, wants a move to England and his contract is running out so should be affordable. Has had interest from Southampton, West Ham and Crystal Palace though so probably a hard deal to seal. Lee Ryder @lee_ryder 1h1 hour ago #NUFC are in talks to sign Achraf Lazaar of Palermo. And further transfer activity is hoped for.
According to reports in Italy his agent has been in Newcastle today meeting with Charnley. Apparently talks went very well and he is set to sign for NUFC imminently, for £3million.
Lee Ryder @lee_ryder 22m22 minutes ago Understand Achraf Lazaar deal going well and no hitches so far #NUFC Kristan Heneage Verified account @KHeneage 1h1 hour ago #NUFC close to signing Lazaar of Palermo. Both Milan teams had an interest in him, he'll be an upgrade left-back. Taylor and Besty @TaylorandBesty Aug 25 No, I'm sorry, but Achraf Lazaar is a Resistance pilot in Star Wars, not a left back. #nufc
Lee Ryder @lee_ryder 44m44 minutes ago Hearing that Achraf Lazaar is close to a done deal. Waiting for #nufc to confirm.
Not sure about him being a worldie, but Chaos has lumped a lot of pressure on his shoulders. I can't think of any higher praise tbh.
