Newcastle Agree £34m Deal for Monaco's Bamba Newcastle United's agreement to sign Monaco midfielder Aladji Bamba for up to £34m marks a significant shift in their transfer strategy.
Gone are the days of breaking the bank on big name signings, as seen in last summer's £55m acquisition of Yoane Wissa from Brentford.
Bamba's impressive statistics among Ligue 1 midfielders who played at least 500 minutes last season make him an attractive addition to Newcastle's squad.
