# Newcastle: Lee Ryder talks up Gleison Bremer chances

**Newcastle United’s prior relationship with Gleison Bremer’s agency could be key as they pursue the Torino centre-back, [The Chronicle’s Lee Ryder says](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gleison-bremer-newcastle-united-bonus-23705807?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar).**

### The lowdown

Italian publication Gazzetta dello Sport (via [The Chronicle](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gleison-bremer-newcastle-united-bonus-23705807?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar)) has named Newcastle among a lengthy list of clubs interested in Bremer.

Arsenal, Tottenham Hotspur, Bayern Munich and Atletico Madrid were also identified as admirers.

Bremer is represented by CAA Base, whose [clients also include](https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/gleison-bremer-newcastle-united-bonus-23705807?utm_source=twitter.com&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=sharebar) Kieran Trippier and Chris Wood.

The 25-year-old, who signed a contract extension [as recently as February](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bremer/profil/spieler/516716), has [started every Serie A game](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/bremer/leistungsdaten/spieler/516716) for which he’s been available this season.

### The latest

Ryder confirms that Newcastle have been watching Bremer and notes that Torino have ‘leaked’ €50million (£41million) price tag to the press in Italy.

The Magpies may hold a ‘[trump card](https://twitter.com/lee_ryder/status/1515618958069620736)‘ over their many competitors because of CAA Base’s ‘relationship with head of recruitment Steve Nickson’.

### The verdict

This would be a real coup for Nickson and Newcastle.

Bremer is a dominant centre-back, ranking in the [95th percentile](https://fbref.com/en/players/5fd5ed86/Gleison-Bremer) for aerial duels won per 90 minutes, and his average of 2.35 blocks per 90 (96th) also suggests he’s something of a warrior.

But that’s not to say the Brazilian’s old-fashioned. In fact, he records a high volume of dribbles ([82nd percentile](https://fbref.com/en/players/5fd5ed86/Gleison-Bremer)), indicating that he has a great deal of confidence in possession.

He also defends on the front-foot, slotting into the 98th percentile for pressures and [leading the way in Europe’s top five leagues for interceptions per 90 minutes](https://twitter.com/WhoScored/status/1514181096602099713). That means he’s making more than [renowned specialists](https://www.sportskeeda.com/football/stats-leicester-citys-ngolo-kante-first-reach-100-interceptions-premier-league-this-season) like [N’Golo Kante](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/114075/Show/N-Golo-Kant%C3%A9).

Journalist Maxi Angelo says he should be [a contender for the Serie A Defender of the Season award](https://twitter.com/MaaxiAngelo/status/1513256963358052356), while Tifo Football’s Seb Stafford-Bloor has uniquely described him as ‘[a vending machine of a centre-half](https://twitter.com/SebSB/status/1513256642825043982)‘.
