Newcastle United is exploring the possibility of securing Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo and Bournemouth centre-back Lloyd Kelly as they seek value in the upcoming summer transfer window.
Both players are set to become free agents at the end of the season, and after thorough scouting and discussions in recent weeks, Newcastle has included them in their list of potential recruits.
Adarabioyo and Kelly have attracted attention for their performances this season and are seen as valuable additions, especially considering they would not require a transfer fee.
While Fulham is attempting to convince Adarabioyo to extend his contract, Newcastle is among several clubs interested in the versatile defender.
Kelly, known to Newcastle manager Eddie Howe from their time at Bournemouth, offers additional depth and flexibility in defense.
With Newcastle facing challenges due to injuries and financial constraints, free transfers like Adarabioyo and Kelly are appealing options.
The club aims to finalize their transfer plans after assessing potential outgoing players and navigating the uncertainties of the summer market.
Despite uncertainties surrounding some players’ futures, Newcastle remains determined to retain key assets like midfielder Bruno Guimaraes and striker Alexander Isak, signaling their intent to build a competitive squad for the upcoming season.
