Saudi Star on the Brink: Newcastle United Circles Saud Abdulhamid in Eye-Catching Transfer Push

Transfer talks gain momentum

Fresh reporting on Friday signals significant progress in Newcastle United's pursuit of Saud Abdulhamid, Lens's right-back, as talks move toward a potential summer transfer.

The 24-year-old, who operates on the right flank and is on loan from AS Roma, has been linked with several European clubs, with Newcastle and Everton leading the English interest.

Journalist Graeme Bailey, on TeamTalk, said there is growing interest from Newcastle's camp in signing Abdulhamid during the upcoming transfer window.

He noted that club officials have followed his form closely in recent fixtures, particularly the standout performance against Paris FC in Ligue 1 round 22, where his defensive and attacking contributions impressed observers.

The admiration inside Newcastle's corridors extends beyond a single game, reflecting ongoing evaluation and a clear intent to seal the deal if his level remains high.

Previously, Saud Abdulhamid had been linked with several English clubs, notably Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest.

If he signs, Newcastle could bolster their defense with a versatile right-back who can contribute both defensively and going forward, while Lens would be aiming to cash in on a valued asset after his loan spell.

Punchline 1: If Saud signs, Newcastle's backline might finally master the art of defending with a mid-season roast and still keep a clean sheet.

Punchline 2: And if the deal stalls, well, Roma’s loan system might just field a busier support staff than the pranksters at a comedy club.
