Newcastle United are reportedly monitoring Brighton’s Yasin Ayari, with a potential summer move on the horizon.
The 21-year-old has impressed in the Premier League with Brighton and is gaining attention while representing Sweden at the World Cup.
Sources suggest Newcastle are tracking his situation closely, amid speculation surrounding Sandro Tonali’s future at the club.
As per Football Insider, Tonali may depart, prompting Newcastle to consider Ayari as a viable replacement.
Pete O’Rourke stated: “If Tonali leaves, Newcastle will need to find a suitable successor. Ayari offers Premier League experience and the adaptability to integrate quickly into Eddie Howe’s system.”
“He’s proven his worth at Brighton, which has drawn interest before. His World Cup performances, including two standout goals for Sweden, further highlight his potential.”
Ayari could be drawn to Newcastle’s ambitious project and financial backing, though Brighton remain reluctant to part with him. The midfielder is integral to their long-term plans and considered a rising star.
Securing his signature may require Newcastle to meet a high valuation, as Brighton aim to maintain squad strength.
Ayari’s versatility as a hard-working midfielder—contributing to attacks, goals, and defensive duties—positions him as a promising candidate for Newcastle’s rebuild.
