The Magpies have conceded no fewer than 34 goals in just 20 games in the Premier League so far in the 2020/21 term, the fourth-most in the division behind West Brom, Leeds United and Crystal Palace (BBC Sport).
Meanwhile, Colley has been a bit of a rock in the Serie A so far this season, showing he loves to get stuck in by winning 4.7 of his duels a game in the Italian top flight and also averaging 4.1 clearances, 2.4 interceptions and 1.1 tackles per match (Sofascore).
The Gambia international has already shown that he can play in a top league and with a six foot two frame and stats that show a combative player by nature, the 28-year-old should be able to cope with the physical demands of the PL, should he make the move to the Toon before the window closes.
