Jan Ziolkowski is slowly emerging as a potential target newcastle unitedSaw his playing time at AS Roma come to an end.

The Polish defender has featured for just under 40 minutes since February, despite performing regularly on a regular basis. He has played 14 times in Serie A, as well as a total of eight times in the Europa League.

At one point he looked like he was winning over Gian Piero Gasperini Ziolkowski took a while to adjust but he soon fitted in well into the Italian’s trademark back three.

His situation is now attracting the attention of Newcastle United, who have already dispatched officials to keep an eye on the centre-back.

Newcastle United transfer interest ahead of summer

Sport.pl reports that if the 20-year-old’s situation does not change, there is every possibility that he could leave Roma in the summer.

The outlet noted how well he has progressed this season, despite few expecting him to make an impression. Ivan Ndika impressed when he was at the African Cup of Nations but his game time proved unsustainable. Even with the Ivorians, the youngster did a lot to win over the fans.

Because of this, he has also become a part of the Poland national team, which shows that his stock has definitely risen.

If things don’t change, a move to Newcastle United could be possible. Magpies’ scouts have watched him ‘several times’ and there is also interest from Italy, France and the Netherlands.

A source told game: : “We are considering every move that would allow Janáček to play. That includes leaving.”

The same source also said that Ziolkowski has been training well but has not been getting enough game time as a result.

“He hasn’t displeased the coach. He’s been training very well, has the best performance results of his career, and has also put in a lot of physical effort.”

Our Thought: Maybe pressure for more playing time

sports witness Newcastle United’s interest in Daniel Gilardi has already been covered. So if Eddie Howe’s side have kept an eye on the Italian, it would be no surprise if Ziolkowski caught their eye too. This is no shock as it is quite difficult to quickly adopt Gasperini’s ideas at a young age.

Even if the Magpies like him, this could be an attempt to force more game time.

For now, Newcastle United should keep a close eye on the young player and his development. He has clearly promised, even if it is too early for him to go to England. How he progresses his development over the next few months could determine everything about his future.
