Newcastle United set to replace Enrique with Bundesliga left back
Newcastle United are preparing for the departure of current left back Jose Enrique by planning a bid for current Hannover 96 loanee Constant Djakpa.
The 24 year old is currently on loan at the North German football club from Bayer Leverkusen with whom he has been contracted with since 2008. Djakpa also has two international caps for his homeland the Ivory Coast.
The player has been noted for his high energy levels up and down the left whilst possessing good natural strength in defence but whilst he has not picked up too many appearances in the Bundesliga he has helped Hannover reach 3rd spot so far this year after Hannover came agonisingly close to relegation last season.
Although Jose Enrique’s future is yet to be decided it seems that Newcastle United are considering their options should the Spaniard depart with Liverpool being the most rumoured location.
