The defender of the French national team and the club, Jean-Alain Boumsong, will soon most likely join the team. This became clear after "Rangers" agreed to the English club's offer of an 8 million pound transfer fee.
Newcastle had been interested in acquiring the French player for some time, as their main center-back, Jonathan Woodgate, left the club in the summer. Initially, the Scottish team rejected several offers, but when coach G. Souness presented the final offer, "Rangers" agreed to sell the defender, who had attracted the club in the summer without a transfer fee.
The 25-year-old defender successfully passed the medical examination, so before the deal was finalized, he only had to agree to the personal terms of the contract. This is already the second defender to join the English club this winter. Just a few days ago, Nigerian Celestine Babayaro agreed to represent "Newcastle".
