Greek Club to Sign TWO Newcastle United Wingers



As teams continue gathering their best squads ahead of the 2019/2020 season, the Greek side Panathinaikos have their eyes set on two Newcastle wingers. According to Greek media, the club has been in contact with Newcastle United, hoping to sign Rolando Aarons on loan.

As revealed by SDNA.gr, the Greek giants are interested in signing the winger during this summer’s transfer window. However, it’s still unclear whether Newcastle’s new coach will let Aarons go, following the departure of head coach Rafael Benitez. Rafael left Newcastle late last month after he failed to secure a new contract with the club.

Panathinaikos will face strong opposition from West Bromwich Albion, who are also trying to sign Aarons after missing Bobby Reid. Darren Moore is desperate to increase West Brom’s creativity, and Rolando Aarons fits the bill very well. Aaron is an extremely talented dribbler, though his end product isn’t always on target. Nonetheless, he’s a great player to watch on the field and a solid choice for those who wager on Betway Online bet games, though he may not always be the first choice.

In recent times, West Brom fans and betting enthusiasts at Betway haven’t received a lot of entertainment from the team following the departure of Tony Pulis. As such, Moore is turning his attention to other interesting targets like Newcastle’s flyer, Rolando Aarons.

Along with Panathinaikos, Greek Club AEK Athens are also interested in signing the 23-year-old winger. AEK qualified for the Europa League in the coming season, and they are trying to strengthen their squad ahead of the competition by signing Aarons. Nonetheless, Newcastle appear to be playing the hardball with these two Greek giants.

According to Newcastle United, they’ll only loan Aarons to the squad that agrees to pay over 50% of his annual salary. Additionally, Newcastle is targeting a redemption clause valued anywhere between six and seven million Euros. These conditions will make it hard for the two Greek clubs to get Aarons, though things might change before the end of the transfer season.

Panathinaikos have also declared their interest in signing Callum Roberts, whose contract with Newcastle United expired on June 30th. The 22-year old has been in the Newcastle books since 2005, but he is yet to earn his place in the Magpie’s first team. In recent years, the former Under-20 England player has loan spells at Kilmarnock, Gateshead and Colchester United.

Roberts hasn’t been offered new terms by Newcastle, and he appears set to leave with only two first-team appearances for the Magpies. He made one appearance for the first-team last season, scoring a goal against Blackburn Rovers in the FA Cup win. Roberts also joined Colchester United earlier in January on loan, though he wasn’t very successful.

The youngster is set to leave Newcastle after joining the club at the age of eight, ending his 14-year career at St James Park. As such, Panathinaikos look very promising for the ex-England U20 starlet, after being identified by former Newcastle player, Nikos Dabizas. Nikos is currently the Panathinaikos sporting director, and he has already started the negotiations to sign Roberts.
