Toon make breakthrough in full-back chase after agreeing deal for Santon

By Sportsmail Reporter

Last updated at 10:46 PM on 28th August 2011

Newcastle United have agreed a £5million deal for Inter Milan full-back Davide Santon.

Manager Alan Pardew has turned to the 20-year-old Italy international after hitting a snag in negotiations over PSV Eindhoven defender Erik Pieters.

Santon can play either side and has progressed through the ranks at Inter.

Was just about to post that. Would be an excellent signing if true.

I'll repeat what I said in the other thread

Highly rated isn't he?

Worth a thread because:

A. His name has come up a few times now.
B. They sound pretty confident, and despite what some say they've actually got some of our deals spot on.
C. I'm desperate.

Remember him being extremely highly thought of a few seasons ago - did something go wrong?

Newcastle Fan · « **Reply #7 on:** Sunday 28 August 2011, 10:58:11 PM »

Wasn't he the next Paulo Maldini?

Im pretty sure they were first with the Tiote transfer last year.

The new Pistone

Rons · « **Reply #11 on:** Sunday 28 August 2011, 10:59:28 PM »

He's a right back, isn't he?

oldtype · « **Reply #12 on:** Sunday 28 August 2011, 10:59:31 PM »

Hope this doesn't mean we're not getting a specialist left back.

Ah f*** it, it probably does.

They called Demba Ba first too.

Would be over the moon if we got him and another LB, Simpson out

Ash · « **Reply #17 on:** Sunday 28 August 2011, 11:01:11 PM »

Will be absolutely delighted if this is true and we're signing him to play at RB.

Toon's Taylor · « **Reply #18 on:** Sunday 28 August 2011, 11:01:13 PM »

No chance is there?

Would be delighted if true, could still see us persuing a LB and playing him at RB sometime in the future.

Right footed left back, just like Denis Irwin, nice.

Dave · « **Reply #20 on:** Sunday 28 August 2011, 11:02:00 PM »

Don't think we'll be looking to replace Simpson. I know a lot on here don't rate him but he's cheap, doesn't cause a fuss, seems to like it here and can only go up in value.

This signing would make sense if he can play both positions.

would be an excellent squad player, always nice to have a few players who can fill a gap when needed

happy days

bimpy474 · « **Reply #23 on:** Sunday 28 August 2011, 11:03:06 PM »

Just hope it isn't their reporter reading blogs and transfer sites and taking a guess.

Peppe · « **Reply #24 on:** Sunday 28 August 2011, 11:04:43 PM »

Sounds good, if true!

What's his preferred position? RB or LB?
