Centerback Malik Tiaw followed the path of Sandro Tonali, leaving Italy for the English side Newcastle.

According to the player, he did not plan to leave Milan, but felt the need for change.

“Milan is a big club, it was difficult for me to make a decision, but I think it’s time to try something new. I heard about the offer from Newcastle. I’m happy here,” said Tiav.

Newcastle are currently only 14th in the Premier League standings. In the next round, the Magpies will host Manchester City at home.

It was previously reported that Newcastle are ready to challenge Real Madrid in the race for the Dutch prodigy.
