The Chelsea pairing of Ethan Ampadu and Malang Sarr are being weighed up as targets for Newcastle United who are credited with an interest in signing the duo on loan deals this summer.
Reports from The Express claim that both players could be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge before the transfer window’s deadline later this month as Thomas Tuchel has quite a few options at the back for his side.
Newcastle United boss Steve Bruce is understood to be in line to shore up his defensive names heading into the 2021-22 campaign by using the transfer market to sign players on loan.
Sarr and Ampadu are targets for the Magpies who fell to a 4-2 defeat at the hands of West Ham United on the opening day fixture of the newly commenced Premier League campaign this past weekend.
Chelsea could be in the market themselves for defensive reinforcements before deadline day with Sevilla’s highly-rated Jules Kounde a major target for Thomas Tuchel despite the transfer talks dying down as of late.
