Malick Thiaw
24-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
Will be part of squad
Thiaw will be part of the squad for Saturday's season opener against Aston Villa, coach Eddie Howe said in the press conference. "Malick [Thiaw] will be part of the squad, he has trained two days, never easy coming in at the end of pre-season, but he's doing well."
ANALYSIS
Thiaw will be part of the squad for Saturday's season opener against the Villains, just four days after joining the Magpies. The defender has trained well over the past two days and is fit to make his first appearance with his new club. That said, he will have to compete for a starting role under coach Eddie Howe, as Fabian Schar and Dan Burn are not easy to displace in central defense.

Latest Fantasy Rumors
Newcastle move inching closer?
Thiaw has reached an agreement with Newcastle United over personal terms, according to transfer expert Rudy Galetti.
ANALYSIS
Even though the agreement on personal terms is a key step ahead of a move, the transfer remains a bit far from completion. That's because AC Milan are holding out for a 40 million euros in a potential transfer, while Newcastle's most recent bid was 30 million. Until both clubs reach an agreement, there won't be any progress.
