Newcastle United close to signing Ewen Jaouen, disappointing Atubolu

Summary

Newcastle United is reportedly nearing a deal to sign 20-year-old goalkeeper Ewen Jaouen from Stade Reims. The move comes as a blow to Freiburg’s Noah Atubolu, who had aspirations of joining the Premier League side. With Atubolu no longer in Newcastle's plans, he faces an uncertain future after Freiburg secured a replacement in Mio Backhaus from Werder Bremen. Clubs including Real Sociedad, Atlético Madrid, AC Milan, Inter, and Napoli have been linked to Atubolu, indicating potential options for the goalkeeper moving forward.
