Newcastle keen on 28-year-old La Liga star amid rumours of a swap deal

Newcastle United have been linked with a move for the Barcelona defender Andreas Christensen.

The 28-year-old Denmark international has established himself as an important first-team player for Barcelona and it seems that his performances have attracted the attention of the English club.

Newcastle are prepared to make a move for the defender, and it remains to be seen whether they can get the deal done. Christensen has played in the Premier League before with Chelsea and he has the ability to make an instant impact in English football.

According to a report from Spanish publication SPORT, Barcelona are keen on signing the Newcastle United striker Alexander Isak at the end of the season and it wouldn’t be a surprise if the two clubs decided to work out a deal that benefits them both.

It will be interesting to see if they can work on a swap deal that would see them sign their preferred player during the summer transfer window.

Newcastle need to improve defensively

Newcastle will need to tighten up at the back and signing a quality central defender should be a top priority. Christensen could form a quality partnership with Sven Botman at the heart of the Newcastle defence. He will help them tighten up at the back and push for trophies next season.

On the other hand. Barcelona need a quality striker and they have been linked with the number of players in recent weeks. Isak is one of the best strikers in the Premier League and he could prove to be a solid acquisition. The Swedish international striker has 24 goals in all competitions and he could improve with coaching and experience.

There is no doubt that the Swedish international is good enough to play for the biggest clubs in the world, and the opportunity to join Barcelona could be quite attractive for him.
