However, many believed he would end up with Milan before Newcastle's intervention.

Maldini told La Gazzetta dello Sport: "We tried to sign Sven Botman last summer but then he went to Newcastle instead."

The 22-year-old signed a five-year contract with Newcastle and has so far played five competitive games for the club.
