Newcastle and West Brom move for Juventus defender

Both Newcastle United and West Brom are wanting to bring Juventus defender Igor Tudor to their clubs, in January. Juventus are asking 3 million for Tudor who has undoubted talent, but an injury record so long it’s in danger of becoming a novel. Tudor was touted around clubs in the summer, before a change of heart by Juventus saw him awarded a new contract, but now it looks like its time for Igor to finally come to England. Although the player has yet to comment officially, one of his representatives was quoted as saying: ‘Tudor would like to come to England, but he would be looking for a club playing in Europe.’ So using that logic it looks likely to be Newcastle. However West Brom may not give up so easily as Bryan Robson sees him as the man to help them avoid the drop.
