Newcastle United have reportedly won the race for the €50m transfer of Bazoumana Toure, who had also been strongly linked with Liverpool.

Liverpool had also been linked strongly with Toure by Sky Germany and TEAMtalk, but this looks like another attacking target who’s got away from the Reds.
This news also follows the blow for LFC that Yan Diomande now looks more likely to join Paris Saint-Germain, as reported by the Athletic.
