Newcastle yet to make approach for Albert Adomah

English Premiership side Newcastle United have not contacted Aston Villa over Ghanaian attacker Albert Adomah Dankwah.

The winger netted 15 goals in all competitions last week as the Lions missed topflight qualification on the final playoff day.

Reports were that Adomah is been courted by Newcastle United but the BirminghamLive have revealed that no approach has been made.

“Rafa Benitez seemingly growing frustrated in his pursuit of Crystal Palace winger Andros Townsend. Fans’ favourite Adomah is a cheaper alternative for the Magpies – but, as of yet, Villa haven’t been approached.” BirminghamLive stressed

“It’s our understanding that Adomah wanted to extend his contract at Villa towards the end of last season and initial discussions were held with former director of football Steve Round.”

The website added: “Had Villa been promoted to the Premier League Adomah would have been rewarded, but a new contract isn’t on the table as things stand.”

Adomah’s contract with Villa ends in the summer of 2020 and his release clause is pegged at €5 million.
