‘Rather the Chuckle Brothers’ – Newcastle fans rue links to versatile English Liverpool first-teamer | OneFootball

Newcastle United are reportedly considering a summer move for Liverpool defender Jarell Quansah – but their fans aren’t happy with the news.

The 22-year-old centre-back is under contract at Anfield for another four years. However, Newcastle believe a £30 million offer, plus add-ons, could persuade Liverpool to part ways with the young Englishman, The Times has revealed.

Liverpool reportedly value Quansah higher, having already resisted offers for him last summer.

Newcastle have been unable to spend freely in recent transfer windows due to Profitability and Sustainability Rules (PSR), but that restriction will ease in the upcoming window. Any sale of the defender will go into pure profit for the Reds, meanwhile, meaning a huge incentive is there.

Reinforcing the right side of their defence is a key priority, and Quansah is seen as a strong option among senior figures at St James’ Park, it is thought.

Quansah played the full 90 minutes in Liverpool’s Carabao Cup final victory at Wembley, in a game where Newcastle emerged victorious, but has seen limited action in the Premier League this season.

It’s not clear if the youngster is in Arne Slot’s plans for the future – but the current amount of game time he’s been given suggests the Dutchman would rather other players be used or even brought in to replace him.

In any case, the links between Quansah and Newcastle have not gone down well with the supporters at St James’ Park, who vented online about the links.
