Apparently, Amiens turned down Newcastle’s initial offer of around € 1.5m for the right back. The Magpies have probably submitted a better offer now. 

The Swedish right-back is talented but he might need some time to adjust to his new club and their style of play.

Newcastle have improved the other full-back position with the signing of Jetro Willems and if they manage to sign a right-back now, Bruce will have a good back four at his disposal.
