Newcastle Transfer Special - Bid Accepted For West Ham RB Harrison Ashby
Newcastle United have had a £3M bid accepted for 21 year-old West Ham right-back Harrison Ashby according to SKY Sports' Dharmesh Sheth : A product of the West Ham Academy, Ashby made his Hammers' first team debut last season in the EFL Cup against Charlton and his Premier League debut as a substitute away to Arsenal with football director Mark Noble praising his "physical stature". Newcastle have sought cover for key man Kieran Trippier ever since the long-term injury to Emil Krafth last year and the 21 year-old, who is eligible to play for Scotland internationally, fits the bill bringing superb technical skills and can learn a lot from the experienced international full-back who is often Newcastle's on-field Captain, and perhaps succeed him at St James’ Park.
