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.
