Newcastle United are ready to sign Werder Bremen defender Jannik Vestergaard, according to reports.

The towering defender, who is 6’7″, has been watched by Magpies scouts in recent months and has impressed.

And now reports say Newcastle are looking to sign the 23-year-old to add to their defensive options.

A brutal tackler with excellent positional sense, Vestergaard only joined Bremen in January but would be keen on a switch to the Premier League to continue his development.


Bremen would want about £7million to sell the Denmark international, who is also wanted by Everton.
