Ivorian international defender Odilon Kossounou appears to be on Newcastle United’s radar. According to Africafoot, the English club’s management is interested in securing the player’s services to bolster their backline.

The Magpies may make a move in the coming weeks for the Atalanta Bergamo defender, who has made 24 appearances this season, including 9 starts in the Champions League.

Kossounou is 25 years old and has already proven his quality in both the Bundesliga and Serie A. His profile seems to fit Newcastle’s defensive needs perfectly, as the club looks to strengthen its back line. With his wealth of experience, signing Kossounou could provide a significant boost to Newcastle’s squad.
