Newcastle United are said to be interested in signing Wes Morgan from Leicester City.
Newcastle United should look elsewhere rather than signing Leicester City’s Wes Morgan this summer.
According to The Sun, Newcastle are lining up a £6 million bid for Morgan – as they look to strengthen their back line.
Morgan was brilliant last season, as he captained Leicester to the Premier League title.
However, his form has dipped this time around, and Leicester fan reactions to the Jamaican international’s performances show why Newcastle should be looking elsewhere.
Many Foxes fans feel that the powerful centre-back has had his day now, as his advancing years are catching up with him.
If Morgan was to move to Newcastle he would add experience to their backline.
Ciaran Clark and Jamaal Lascelles have been Newcastle’s two first-choice centre-backs this term, but Benitez is likely to be attempting to upgrade his defence to ensure his side are ready to compete back in the Premier League.
