Newcastle United are one of several clubs keeping tabs on Sacha Boey.

According to Aksam, Newcastle United, as well as Arsenal, Tottenham, and Juventus, are interested in signing Galatasaray defender Sacha Boey. The full-back has enjoyed an impressive season in Turkey, and is valued at around £14 million.

Newcastle have already brought in Sandro Tonali this summer, and Harvey Barnes’ arrival was announced very recently. However, Eddie Howe will likely want to bolster his squad further ahead of the new campaign, especially with Champions League football on the horizon.

The Magpies have been heavily linked with Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney, and may well have earmarked Boey as a candidate to provide extra depth on the opposite flank.

Who is Sacha Boey?

The 22-year-old has been a key figure for Galatasaray since his arrival from Rennes in 2021. Boey made 31 league appearances for the club last season. He chipped in with four assists as Galatasaray clinched the Super Lig title.

Boey’s performances have certainly been eye-catching. Former Arsenal right-back Bacary Sagna has heaped praise on his young compatriot.

As quoted by Sporting Post, Sagna said: “One player I really like is Sacha Boey…As a right back myself, I have to say I think he is amazing, I’m sure he is in the minds of many clubs to sign.”

Sagna was certainly correct to predict Boey would have plenty of suitors this summer. Newcastle will have to make a strong offer to beat their Premier League rivals to the former France under-20 international’s signature.
