Malick Thiaw
24-Year-Old
Newcastle United
Premier
Start includes defensive excellence
Thiaw logged three interceptions, two clearances and one tackle won during Newcastle United's 2-0 win Sunday against Nottingham Forest.
ANALYSIS
In between Aug. 15 and Sept. 14, the 2025-26 Premier League includes Thiaw's one appearance. It is not multiple because a then-relatively healthy Newcastle did not require him. But between September's second half and Saturday, a concussion affected Fabian Schar. In place of him, Newcastle used Thiaw. The healthy defender's post-injury stats include both 5.3 clearances per game and mostly clean sheets, defensive excellence.

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.
