Newcastle are ‘considering’ a move for Inter Milan right wing-back Denzel Dumfries ahead of the next transfer window, as per a report by Football Insider. The 27-year-old, who is a Holland international with 43 caps under his belt so far, could be seen as someone to compete with Kieran Trippier for next season.
Dumfries signed for his current club back in 2021 having previously played his football in his native country at Sparta Rotterdam, SC Heerenveen and PSV and has since been a hit in Italy. However, he may well move on for a new chapter in his career in the near future and a switch to England could be on the cards for him.

Ciaran Clark will ‘shortly discover’ whether Sheffield United will offer him a deal this summer, as detailed in a report by The Star. He has spent this term on loan with the Blades after Newcastle gave him the green light to move to South Yorkshire on a temporary basis last year.
The Republic of Ireland international has since made 11 appearances for Paul Heckingbottom’s side and has helped them gain promotion from the Football League. His contract with his current club expires in late June and he is poised to become a free agent.
