Newcastle United have been offered Milad Mohammadi according to reports.
Newcastle United must bring in a left back this month, and they may have been offered the chance to sign one before next week’s deadline.
Paul Dummett has been solid at left back, but he needs competition, and a more attack-minded option would be ideal in terms of variety.
Monaco’s Antonio Barreca is a top target, but the Daily Mail report that Akhmat Grozny have offered Newcastle the chance to sign Milad Mohammadi.
The 25-year-old is seemingly available on loan with a view to a permanent move, and Newcastle should certainly seize the opportunity to land him.
Mohammadi became a World Cup cult hero over the summer for his attempted somersault throw in, but he genuinely is a major threat from long throws, which would give a new dimension to this Newcastle side.
Mohammadi also possesses great pace and attacking ability, which is exactly what the Magpies should be looking to bring in – and he wouldn’t break the bank either.
Signing a player like Mohammadi on loan with a view to a permanent move would be reminiscent of Rafael Benitez taking a punt on Martin Dubravka last year, and he is now a Tyneside hero.
Mohammadi may not grab many headlines, but he is a pacy left back with technical ability and international experience., and as competition for Dummett, he seems to fit the bill perfectly.
