Wright-Phillips Urges Chelsea to Target Newcastle's Malick Thiaw in January

A recent summer move at Newcastle leaves a January deal unlikely.

Overview

  • Speaking to BestBettingSites, the former Chelsea winger said Malick Thiaw is exactly what Chelsea’s backline needs this winter.
  • He admitted a move now would be almost impossible, citing the defender’s status under Eddie Howe.
  • Thiaw joined Newcastle from AC Milan in the summer for a reported £30–34.6 million on a long-term deal and has quickly become a regular starter.
  • Coverage from Chronicle Live, Yahoo Sports and Goal reports no talks between clubs and frames the idea as opinion rather than an active negotiation.
  • Wright-Phillips also mentioned Ben White as a potential future option for Chelsea, with any January sale by Arsenal viewed as unlikely.
