Nampalys Mendy Linked with Move to Premier League Club Newcastle United
Nampalys Mendy, the 22-year-old defensive midfielder currently captaining OGC Nice, could be on the verge of a move to England’s Premier League. Reports from British tabloids suggest that Newcastle United are closely monitoring the French midfielder’s progress.
Mendy joined Nice on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract with AS Monaco. Since arriving at the Côte d’Azur club, he has steadily developed his game and earned the captain’s armband, highlighting his growing influence within the squad.
Despite being tied to Nice until June 2017, speculation is mounting that Mendy may leave Ligue 1 sooner. Newcastle’s interest points to a possible summer transfer, as the club looks to strengthen its midfield options with a player known for his defensive solidity and leadership qualities.
