Malick Thiaw is heading to Newcastle and AC Milan have already found his replacement \u2013 which is bad news for Tottenham Hotspur. <\/p>\n

Malick Thiaw is Newcastle-bound<\/a>, with Eddie Howe finally having some luck in the summer transfer market. <\/p>\n

The German centre-back\u2019s arrival on Tyneside is imminent, with Thiaw missing training<\/a> ahead of his proposed move, which is essentially all but confirmed.<\/p>\n

Particularly as the Italian side have already lined up a replacement, which has a direct impact on Thomas Frank\u2019s side. <\/p>\n

Koni De Winter is joining AC Milan as Malick Thiaw replacement <\/p>\n

The ever-reliable Fabrizio Romano<\/a> confirmed via X that Koni De Winter will be joining AC Milan<\/a>. <\/p>\n

He writes: \u2018Koni De Winter to AC Milan, here we go! Verbal agreement done with Genoa and player side.<\/p>\n

\u2018Package around \u20ac20m (\u00a317m) with clubs sorting final details, then green light to medical tests in Milano early next week. De Winter will sign a long-term deal at Milan.\u2019<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Belgian centre-back who enjoyed a fantastic season last year at Genoa, which has led to interest from Milan, and intrigue from some of Europe\u2019s biggest clubs. That included Tottenham Hotspur<\/a>. <\/p>\n

Tottenham wanted Koni De Winter <\/p>\n

Tottenham were interested in Koni De Winter<\/a>, but this has just confirmed the chances of signing the Belgian centre-half are now zero. Instead, Tottenham will need to look elsewhere. <\/p>\n

Spurs boast two of the world\u2019s best centre-backs in Micky van de Ven<\/a> and Cristian Romero, but beyond them, Frank\u2019s options are limited.<\/p>\n

With both players prone to injury, Spurs must now consider whether signing another centre-half this summer is necessary.<\/p>\n

On top of that, replacing James Maddison<\/a>, who is out for the season, will mean a busy final month ahead in North London\u2019s transfer market.<\/p>\n

However, one player who won\u2019t be joining is De Winter, as he looks forward to his new chapter at Milan\u2019s San Siro.<\/p>\n
