Sven Botman says he is looking forward to the future after committing to Newcastle United with new contract
When Ross Wilson came in as sporting director, it was claimed that his first big business would be to tie down Tino Livramento, Sandro Tonali and Sven Botman to new deals.
That trio of players were thought to be the most important players on shorter contracts and the most at risk of being swayed by outside bids.
It has since been revealed that Sandro Tonali actually signed a contract extension when he was banned for 10-months shortly after signing for Newcastle.
Tino Livramento has put talks on hold until the end of the season, with Manchester City and Arsenal both keen on the England man, which is a huge worry for Newcastle.
Newcastle have announced that Sven Botman has signed a contract until 2030
Thankfully, Newcastle have had a breakthrough with Sven Botman who has put pen to paper on a new contract that will keep him at Newcastle United until 2030. The Dutch defender spoke about how he has grown during his time at the club and is excited for the future.
“I’m really happy to sign this contract. This club has given me so much in the last three-and-a-half years.
“I’ve grown as a person and as a player here and I feel like I have so much more to give in the long term. That’s why both parties are really happy with this decision and I’m looking forward to what’s coming in the future here.”
Eddie Howe says he is 'delighted' to have Sven Botman commit to Newcastle
Eddie Howe spoke very highly of Botman after the defender signed his contract, praising his mentality and work ethic.
“We’re delighted that Sven has committed his long-term future to the club. He has been an outstanding player for us since he joined and I firmly believe there’s more to come from him.
“Sven has a strong mentality and work ethic, which is clear every time he trains or plays. We value his presence on and off the pitch and l’m really pleased to see his long-term future secured here.”
We are absolutely delighted that Botman has committed his future to Newcastle. When he's fully fit and in form, there are few better defenders in the league.
