TSG Hoffenheim's Bazoumana Touré is destined for a transfer to the Premier League with Newcastle United FC.

According to both Sky Germany and The Athletic, the transfer fee for the fleet-footed winger is reported to be €50million.

Furthermore, to the benefit of the Bundesliga outfit, Hoffenheim have secured a 10% sell-on clause should Touré leave at some point.

This is a new record sale for the Sinsheim club, previously held by Joelinton, who also moved to Newcastle in 2019 – for a fee of €43.5million.

Interest in Touré, who was signed from Swedish club Hammerby IF for €10million a year and a half ago, was very much widespread.

Liverpool, Brentford, Manchester United and Borussia Dortmund were all linked with the attacker prior to joining the Magpies.

Touré amassed 5 goals and 15 assists in 45 appearances for Hoffenheim last season and also represented Côte d'Ivoire at the World Cup.
